I came across this guy yesterday perched on a wooden post at one of the water control facilities in Circle B Bar Reserve, Polk County, Florida. He was trusting to allow me to approach and shoot tight to eliminated the square post. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Hi Joseph, super pose, and I like the feather detail. I feel you could try a version in vertical. You could also come up from the bottom and crop around the neck to show more of the head and bill in landscape format.
