    I captured this image along Ten Mile Grade Road in Zolfo Springs, Florida using the vehicle as a blind. Not the prettiest perch but at least it is natural, most likely a tree broken off by one of the past hurricanes. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Joe:

    Good look back pose, catchlight, soft light and background.

    There is a modest green cast. A modest crop (10-15%) from the top would be an option.

    Yes the perch is a bit messy, but such is life! Could consider burning some of the lighter areas slightly to reduce its impact a bit

    Cheers

    Love the pose, the sharp yet soft as they should be feathers, the BG and I love the perch. TFS

    Really dig the look back poses like this. Nice background. Maybe go a little cooler on the white balance.
