Quite a pleasing image. Love the perch and BG. The pose and placement of the bird in the frame works well here and the prey make it even better.

Nice looking frame, Joe. Interesting perch, and the prey is a bonus.

Cool perch Joseph and the prey item is nice, as is the catchlight. I could see just a bit more NR to the background. TFS
