    Nice light, pose and perch. You might consider losing the OOF part in front of the subject. TFS

    Hi Joseph. Nice bird, HA and overall pose. I do feel there's a lot of "empty space" above and below the bird though. The bird also seems a little soft to me.

    I like the image design and what you were going for but for some reason it doesn't seem to work. I am not sure why.
    It may be the OOF branch above the perch. Maybe a tighter crop?
    There seems to be a greenish cast on the bird.
    You have a good HA and body position.

    Really like the blue/green in the background. Nice pose as well. I wonder if this would have made a better horizontal. Of course you would loose some of that green.
