I like the bird and the nesting material. Like the view of the front wing as well. But I have a few problems. First the bird is facing away which is not ideal. Mostly the problem is that the bird is not as sharp as it could be. Looks to be lacking fine feather detail. Not sure if that is from motion blur or just not enough shutter speed.

Hi Stuart,
I like the bird with nesting materials as Isaac mentions. And that red eye is really something. The image also seems soft to me. Perhaps faster SS would have helped.

You nailed this one Stu. Nest material a bonus too. Like the eye rendition.

Nice image, the nesting material adds a little extra something.
