Lovely capture with good exposure, nice details and good colors. I like the smooth background (BG) which really goes with the bird. Love those long toenails and the thorns on the perch. I think if it were mine, I would crop a little from the left or I would add a little to the bottom, maybe including the other 2 thorns in their entirety.

What a cool looking bird. That beak looks powerful. I love the clean bg and the attentive pose. The colors are very nice.
I'm unsure about the crop. I'd take some off the top and add it to the bottom.
Strong capture, all in all.

Hi Moshen, good alert pose, sort of like a pre-take off pose. You have brought out the overall detail very well, and the BG certainly complements the shrike. Comp wise, I would take off the top, and add to the bottom.
