Excellent lighting and detail, especially on the shoulder. I'd prefer a bit more profile, but that's in the past. You could clone out the distracting OOF think along the
lower left edge, and I think the bird would benefit from a wide crop if you have the space. I also wish a bit more of the perch was in focus. But the pose is really
engaging.

How many top notch calling RWB images do you have? I could see a little less contrast, but love it as is. TFS
