    Talk about a landing pose!! Very dynamic, and the face is perfectly sharp. I love the bent legs and outstretched feet. If anything I do wish the perch did not touch the subject...you could add a gap there if so inclined, it would be easy with the uniform blue sky.

    Very nice landing, good wing position and eye contact. Well done.

    I only wish it were more closer to your eye level.
    Very nice otherwise.
    Thanks for sharing.
