I really like this Joe especially the sharpness of the bird and I think the background makes the bird stand out well. I find the small blurred area in front of the branch to the left a little distracting but not so much it spoils the image.
Lovely shot, Joe. Feels like a painting. Good look at the red eye, and very nice perch and comp. This is a bird that taunts me, frequently heard but rarely seen, and then high in the branches. Nice job catching him.
