Nice bird, nice perch. Good feather detail. I like the spotlight effect of the BG. May be just my laptop monitor, but is there a bit of halo around the bird? Noticeable mostly around head and tail.
IQ has suffered from the large crop unfortunately.
I also see cloning remnants in 2 areas where you cloned out branches- one to the right of bird and one to the left.
Good bird and I hope you can get closer to this guy in the future.
Decent enough for. a huge crop. But no excuse for the sloppy Photoshop work. You can repair that damage easily after the fact with the Patch Tool. I hope that I get to photograph this species in nice light from close range before they nail the box shut. Not likely, however :)
Love the neat pose.
