Good job getting low and I like that white circle around the eye. Not sure what can be done about that bright brown branch in the lower left corner but it tends to grab my eye -- maybe a vertical crop or select and desat a bit.

A beautiful pose of a beautiful bird.

I can ignore the OOF branch, it is your choice whether to keep it or not,and it all depends whether you approve of manipulation.

I think you need to retain the space so a crop will not work IMHO.

Love the pose and the sharpness of the face. Those gray lores are so cool and so different from those of our snowy's lores. The BKGR on our left looks noisy. And yes, the BKGR is messy with the o-of branch and the large branch in the center but the bird is so, so nice. And I like the soft light. Thanks Dudley for your membership support. Let's see some more :)

Like the low angle pose & whites well handled.
