Way cool bird, goor EXP, and sharp. The diagonal branch behind the bird's head is both unforutnate and distracting. With a lot of hard work, that branch and a few others could be removed... Good head angle and a nice sharp eye.
Great find, pose and details. It could go a tad brighter and if the other branch were not there it would be even better.
Agree with the comments above and would ad that the horizon could be corrected just a bit. Still, great shot! Very nice pose and details, dark bird in the shadow is not an easy target.
Just couldn't leave this one alone - looks a tad dark on my monitor and I agree with Artie on the branches - so I gave the suggested removal a try.
