Sweet bird. Lovely perch. Lovely BKGR. I would get rid of the front stick with the patch Tool. The biggest problem is that the bird has it's head turned away. Even thought the light is fairly soft, it is from the rear; this is less than ideal and is the casue of many problems, in this case a bit light on the back with blocked up blacks on the face.
later and love, artie
