Lovely image, Karl. Perfect green BG which really helps this young bird to pop. Good use of flash to help with the harsh light. I tried a crop here that i preferred to this one with some off of the bottom just above the broken off piece and then some off of the right. I find it helps the viewer focus better on the bird.
A nice image well done in tough light. The steep angle to the bird is less than ideal. The suggested bottom crops works for me.
