Very nice lookback pose from one of my favorite backyard birds, Joel. The lighting was obviously dim, otherwise I might have wished for a little more DOF, but he gave you a great look.

Like your pose and details. I might go a little brighter on the bird.

Nice shot. Just a tad brighter on the bird would do it for me.
