    Nice EXP, HA, and BKGR (but for the light area). An option would be to have pointed the lens down as the bottom half of the image is not adding much ...

    Hi Artie, thank you for viewing and commenting. I wondered about the bright area of the background, decided to post with it to see what was said. Here is a edit and repost with the bright area banished.

    Good job on losing the light area. Probably a lot better than I could do ...

    This is a nice look at this species. Side lighting isn't for everyone, but you handled it fine here. Pose is great and the engaging look is really nice, but the perch doesn't add much.
