    Nice pose and sharpness on this guy. Cool bird with good colors. was he recently bathing, there is some green "goo" on the breast. There is a little bit of another branch in the LLC that could be removed.

    Not sure about the "goo". He is basically a ground bird and scratches the ground very vigorously (like a chicken) in search of food. Might just be some ground debris he picked up by scratching.

    Good eyes by Dan with the tiny branch, but ****, this is a great image. Love the bird, sharpness, COMP, EXP, and best of all the HA. This would also work well as a near-Square. I just love this one.
