This is very nice Chris, some may see it differently but I do like the dark and light of the face, the pose makes me think he is not going to stay long so very well done getting this fine image.
Hi Chris, great eye contact from this fellow, and love the detail and colour on the body. Your vertical comp suits the pose, and Im fine with the post perch.
