Hi Jan, I like the composition. The diagonal that the perch introduces adds interest ti the image in my opinion. The detail of the bird is very nice and the exposure looks good. The background is pleasing and shows off the bird nicely. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with the positives above, but the whole image seems lacking in detail. Maybe from NR?
