    Nice perch with a nice background. The bird looks angled away slightly. The head is soft.

    Hi John, thank you for viewing and commenting. After reading your comment I took another look at the image. There was much I didn't like, so back to the drawing board with the original. I think this edit addresses your comment and a few things I didn't like.

    Hey Joe. Nice to have one perched up in the open with a clean background. Not easy around here. I don't like the body and head angle on this one and agree the bird does not look sharp. Also there is not enough details in the dark plumage.
