Thanks for viewing and C&C.

Miroslav,

Nice set-up and execution. Sharp throughout and nice clean background.

If you have more perch on the bottom, I would crop from the top and add to the bottom. The perch starts to fall off the d.o.f. at the top.

Thank you Miguel, I agree with your suggestion. Below is the new crop:

Wonderful sharpness and detail. I love the gradient in the BG, and the browns set off the bird's color beautifully. I like the new crop -- makes an excellent image even better.

Nice IQ, I like the thin perch, and beautiful BG. Sharpness is at its limit before being too much. Comp-wise, yes, the RP is better. Either having the bird higher in the frame like you did, or lower, would both work better than the OP. I would also have liked a better tail position - between the leg and left edge would have been ideal, but not always controllable of course. Great colours you got here!
