Although the HA is not the best, I like the perch on this one.
I did some clean up in the background to get rid of the OOF part of the tree stump.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Karl, I also like the perch it has plenty of character but I feel it's a little to dominate in the frame compared to the subject if this were mine I would crop the bottom 2/3 of the frame giving equal weight to the bird and perch.

Hi Karl,
Nice catch despite the HA. I agree with Don concerning cropping the bottom of the perch some - the top part would still add alot of interest IMO.

Sharp with a good exposure. And a wonderful little subject that never stays still. But the rather harsh light and the huge unattractive perch are too tough to overcome....

Like this lot more, the focus is now more on the bird than on the stump.
