    Aside from lots of gray thingies in the BKR, some of which look like dust, this is very well done. Did the image begin with a sky BKGR? head angle, pose, COMP, and sharpness all very good.

    Some of the background had branches removed, I have no idea how I missed such a lot of mess in the background. Here is one which is hopefully a good deal cleaner. Thank you for your kind comments.

    I like it too, and the repost is cleaned up nicely. I really like the fact the bird is perched at the very tip - very cool!

    Yes, a huge improvement, and YAW. Good job of schmutz-removal!

    Re-post looks much better, I only wish to de-center the bird a bit, but love the light, details, BG and head turn! Congratulatuions!

    Excellent repost! Beautiful detail on the bird and love the way he looks like he's seeing right through that lens of yours!

    Great repost ken. The details are great and the head angle is perfect for me.

    Toning down some of the bright areas such as the feet, breast patch, and bill would make the image even better.
