I like the pose, early morning light, feather pattern on the breast and perch. The big crop looks like it hurt the IQ a bit here. Hope you can closer next time, TFS John.

Beautiful light, great composition with perch moving through the frame, the pose and eye contact spot on. TFS

Hi John maybe a 5:4 crop would offer a little more leeway, the image looks a little overexposed to me.
