Nice pose. There are a few white spots on the perch that you could remove if you are so inclined.

I really like this one. It's tack sharp and I love that bg, great light too !!

Hi Adam, I like it. The bird is sharp with good details with a good head angle. I like the diagonal that the perch introduced to the image. The plain background with the slight color gradient shows the bird nicely. For my personal taste I find there is a little too much negative space on our right. Another option would be to crop closer to where the perch enters the frame. Not necessarily better just different. Thanks for sharing.

I am fine with the BKGR, the SH, the COMP, and the EXP. I would definitely lose the little twig on the branch right behind the bird and possibly some of the others. Is that a tic or some sore of parasite just in front of the eye???

Hi Artie,
I went back to the raw file to take a closer look. It is not any parasite, just some dark feathers.

Thanks Adams. I got fooled by the roundness.... If you have a chance, I would love to know if others of this species show the same thing.

I have a few more images of females and they all have the same thing. Some are darker than others.
