Great exposure control and sharpness. Too bad about the large branch at top left. A round of noise reduction may improve the look of the image.

Love the pose, the sharpness, and the perfect head angle. I do not mind the large branch at all. Like how the dash of green in the urc balances the hanging piece of bark in the llc. Well done!
