Nice little guy on a wire. It would have been better if the head had been turned more toward the camera and I'd also try to remove the noise in the BG. Was this a big crop? The composition and dark BG are nice.
More head turn towards the camera meant no catch light.. It was about a forty percent crop.. out the car window in a forest..area along the road..I felt I was quite close.
Hi Pat. I agree with the head angle and BG noise. I ran Noise Ninja on your image with some extra strong noise reduction and have uploaded it here. It looks better to me, what do you think? Dan Brown
