Great details, eye contact, soft light, perch and BG. Maybe a bit more contrast and I would give it more room.

[Doug Hitchcox]

Very nice, simple image. I agree with Axel for more space. Sharpness looks great for 1/60!

[Rene Quenneville]

The bird is parallel to the beautifu perch wich give a appealing look to the picture. I also vote for more room on top.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yet another vote for more space around. Otherwise excellent exposure, sharpness, and pose.

[Juan Aragonés]

Another vote for more room and more contrast. Excelent pose and TERRIFIC eye.

[Ron van Rossum]

Thanks for your replies!
Here's one with more room on top,looks much better indeed ;)
(I've put back the part I cropped previously....)

Thanks again,

Ron

Looks good - - I like pose and detail - good perch too.

[Doug Hitchcox]

Repost looks good but I would be tempted to add just a little underneath so that leftward section of the perch is not touching the bottom of the frame - I'm curious what others think of that...
