Nice image Mark, sharp with good background, would like to see a better head turn. sweet perch

Great find, details, perch and BG. A bit more head turn would have made it even better.

[Art Kornienko]

Lovely detail and super perch, colours awesome, but I find the exposure on the head a bit on the dark side.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Almost perfect...a better head turn would have pushed it to perfect. Sweet perch, BG, exposure, sharpness, subject...

[Joe Senzatimore]

Yes a better head turn would be nice but this is still one fine capture. That Bg is magnificent as is the detail.

[Dominic Cantin]

Excellent shot !!! He seem so proud on the top of his branch ! ;) At my taste , I'd add a very litle more contrast.

I have to agree with others about the head turn but the quality of this image is really good. Fantastic OOF BG, light, deatils and perch. Good job!
