    Like everthing about it except the branch coming out of the bird's head Glenn. Perhaps a little more brightness on the bird too.

    Exposure seems fine on my monitor. Liked the leaves around the bird. Lovely looking bird.

    I agree with Doug. I like the grouping of leaves above the bird - but not it's branch leading into the bird's forehead. Man, I'd be so happy to have an eye level opportunity with this species!! :-)

    Lovely framing that could have been better with a couple of steps to your left, if possible. Love the leaves framing.

    Hi Glenn,
    I like the leafy top cover but not the branch coming out of his head. I think you could remove it and easily pass the leaves off as coming from an unseen branch above the bird. A very nice soft feel to this image.
