    WOW! This is one of your nicest images John!
    Only thing I would change is your crop.
    I would crop in from RHS to eliminatet the "Y" end of OOF branch.
    Love the fluffed up throat feathers and the head angle.
    That little bit of lichen adds a wonderful unexpected pop of color.
    Great BG and IQ.
    Well done
    Gail

    Hi John, I agree one -- one of your best. Great pose, perch, and background. Good crop suggestion from Gail. I think a tough more noise reduction on the BG. Very nice, TFS

    I love the image design as is. For my two cents, losing the Y would hurt this image. Excellent job on the EXP and getting some light on the face.

    with love, arite
