    Great find and light. Too bad he didn't choose a nicer perch and setting for you. I would clone out the dark branch in the upper left and decrease the contrast a few points.

    Sharp and well exposed. I like the dark branch as a frame. Higher and righter would have been great (but impossible).

    Real nice find. I like the image, and the way the three branches serve as a frame, but do find the bright, out of focus green spot on the lower one to detract. I'm not the best with PS, but sure there are some out there who might offer tips on how to eliminate it the best way.
