[Desmond Chan]

Thank you for looking and comments are appreciated !!

The bird, the pose, and the EXP are all quite well done. The perch has many of the qualities of an unattractive perch:

1: too large for the subjext.
2- sawed off section.
3- uneven tonality and texture
4- broken off branch

Was the image created at a feeder set-up?

There is a great section on creating backyard and other set-ups in ABP II that includes a section on the qualities that we need to look for when selecting an ideal perch.

It was near a feeder in a public park. Will pay attention to perch selection next time. Thanks Artie !

As long as you do not get hassled for doing so that is the way to go.
