    Like the exposure and the basic COMP, especially the way you handled the branch coming into the frame. And love that cool eye line. The big problem is with head angle... For 99% of all preening images, the head needs to be exactly parallel to the imaging sensor; that is far from the case here. Once you are aware of that principle, you can better time the shutter release.

    I like the preening pose and details. Adding to Artie's comments I think it could go a bit darker.
