Very interesting composition and I like the pose. Nice clean BG and good eye contact Gary. The light appears to be a tad harsh but you handled it well. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Gary, You did fairly well with a steep angle to the bird and a less than ideal light angle. You have a good head angle and the chest and bill are quite colorful and sharp as well.

Lovely pose and colours, I really like the leaves to the right, and you did handle the light well. Just something small in the bottom left hand corner to clean up.
