    Great eye contact, nice perch, and good feather detail. I particularly like the talons. I might have taken the 1.7 off to fit the whole bird in the frame.

    I agree with Doug's comments. Going vertical was another option.

    Troy, Good suggestions already given. I like the cute pose, nice details and the talons. I would also clone out the OOF branch piece that is underneath. Fantastic eye contact.

    Nice sharpness and feather details. Like the comp and facial expression. IMG is well exposed with good bg.
