Simple and like it a lot Scott !!! I like the stopping down for good dof, just right head angle and all very sharp !!! .... also like the room left at top makes for an elegant image !!!
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.
