    I love the mossy perch, and "happy" facial expression. Neat BG. Did you try any verticals for more room for the tail? Merry Christmas to you as well

    Excellent image Joe! I like the open beak, spanish moss, eye contact and sharpness.

    Hey Joe, Love this shot..looks very sharp. As the others have said, the eye contact and "expression" are great. I like the composition as well. Thanks for sharing.
