I captured this image during a drive along Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive in Apopka, Florida. The day was overcast, a little dark but all in all good conditions for photography without having to worry about light angles. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

What a neat perch this fella chose! This pose and perch was screaming vertical comp, glad you went for it. Some hot whites on the back, and I do wish the crevice along the left of the perch was not there as it gives the illusion of a much extended toe. I agree with you about cloudy conditions being good :-)
Love the repost Joe. The original is a lovely frame, but the little extra TLC was well worth it. Loads of detail, eye level POV, great subject, whats not to like?
