Hi Jon, nice execution, the colour palette really works, likewise the framing. The perch being on a slight slant also adds/bolsters the composition. Techs look good, always wise to have a high SS to avoid soft images.

Personally I might have remove the blue in the eye, but that's me, no deal breaker.

Sharp and well framed. The blue eye reflection is presumably your car`s color?

[Jonathan Ashton]

Thanks very much everyone for your comments, regarding the blue in the eye no my car is black my only guess is the sky. (One of those rare days when we had blue sky)
