beautiful image ram. i just wish to crop few pixels from top as felt more space on there. may be if you have more of bottom stick then trying vert. composition would make this more attractive too.
Neat bird, nice thin perch, and beautiful BG. I only wish you had pointed your lens down a bit more to get the subject higher in the frame with more perch visible.
Pretty much perfect on the techs. Dan's suggestion or a pano crop from the top would work for me.

Ram, I think all the above critiques are in line. I would liked to see this bird with a little more light on the near side from a Better Beamer/flash. However, it would change the mood of the picture, which may not be your intent.
