Captured in Madera Canyon in Arizona. Toned down the perch which was hot and cropped for composition. High ISO and SS due to shooting Hummers when this guy came in. No time to change settings as he didn't stay long.
Nice pose and comp. I like how the perch anchors the left edge - I would only clone out the very thinest part at top of said perch as it awkwardly weaves out and in of the frame. I do find the contrast on it a bit strong on it too. NR to the BG would be good. I'm OK with the DOF as the whole face/body/feet are perfectly sharp, and I like how the OOF tail is nicely separated from the tree.
