    Cute pose!
    IQ looks good and the whites are good.
    Perch is not ideal but the leg band is so dirty I initially did not notice it -which is a good thing!!
    Comp- wise I feel you have too much space on the LHS and would crop in by about 10%.
    Nice image and good for getting up early!! Try bringing a big beautiful piece of driftwood or something to the site for the BO to perch on. The BO's are so curious they will usually explore and perch on something new.( See Michael Thomson's post below of BO).
