    Jon....I like the look of this image....great balanceo of oof and in focus elements. You might consider a bit of a vignette to concentrate focus on your subject!

    Hi Jonathan. I like the diagonals of the comp and you have good overall sharpness. The background gives a sense of the environment, but is blurred enough that the subjects stand out well. You might tone down the bright area in the ULC. I might wish that the wings didn't cover so much of the head, but there was not much you could do about that other than to try a different shooting angle (which would create DOF issues along the length of the perch). Overall, this is very well done.
