Ron this image has nice exposure, a great perch and BG. The bird is sharp with good catchlight in the eye.

I might wish that the bird had more room to face into. I would also consider adding a touch of canvas at the top or, cropping some off of the bottom edge to bring the bird's head (eye) to the "thirds" line.

Hi Ron,

I just love this composition! Well caught in it's natural habitat.

I like the pose and setting. It could go a bit brighter for my taste, especially the head looks quite dark on my monitor.

Wonderful image with a killer BG. Love the excellent feather detail and the beautiful perch.. A tad lighter as Axel mentioned but still a very lovely and pleasing image Ron !!! Nice head turn and eye contact too !!! Really like it .

[Raymond Barlow]

[Harold Davis]

i like the compo, ron. agree that it needs to be a tad lighter but a beatiful capture.

Agree with Stephen`s comments

Nice perch, background & eye contact. Making it just a tad brighter would improve this lovely image.
