Awesome to get a full frame shot like that. The perch is rough though, like you mentioned. Can't have everything. :) I love the lighting, background and sharpness.
Nice light , BG and detail as well as color. Would work well as a vert.
Love the slight head turn and eye contact, sharp and a lovely bg...the perch is what it is.

I like the look back and details, just wish for a natural perch

I love everything except the perch which kinda spoils the image (but you know that!)
Excellent detail and color. Also like the pose. If he's a regular around those parts I'd be tempted to attach a branch to that post and hang around for awhile.
