    its a pitty that he didn't turn its head so that the bill showed.

    iso 500, F6.3, 1/8000, -0.7, made in Raw and there changed it to -2.0

    I didn't had time to lower the iso and tighten the F (?), could make to shots with this settings and then it flew away.

    I really like the branches, they fill the picture and give it an art-like view.

    I wonder if you like it or not.

    I like it a lot, and I agree that being able to see the beak would improve the image. I like the branches in the dark areas of the photo and am reposting a version where they are more visible. How do you like it?

    Great mood and idea. I agree that it would have been great to see the beak and I might clone out the branches crossing the bird's head.
