    Great photo. I love the background, sharpness and the fact that he looks like he may want to try to catch you...:)

    Great head-on pose, interesting perch, BG and good sharpness, too. I think he needs to clean his feet. :) Some of the whites on the legs are overexposed, should be easy to fix.
