Like this a lot Dave. Very beautiful composition and excellent exposure and detail as well as a wonderful pose and superb eye contact. Keep them coming < smile >
Overall very nice, but was there a way to take a few steps to your right to place the tree trunk away from directly behind the bird (and also give a better light angle)? I also think the horinzontal trunk is unfortunate. Ireally like the eye here...pops nicely against the red skin.
