GBH, windy fall day, Redux

[Bill Dix]

This is the sequal to my GBH post of last Sunday. This time he turned his head facing into the wind, giving me a chance for a different comp, but same fall foliage BG. Those who felt Sunday's post had a less than perfect HA might prefer this one (or might not; let me know). C&C appreciated.

certainly nothing wrong with that head angle Bill, great composition and complimentary background aswell

Great composition and colors. The head still looks turned away a little to me, but I would have been thrilled to have this in my Lightroom Catalog! ;)

I feel with a static portrait type image such as this one, it's more effective to have more eye contact with the viewer in most circumstances. Nice BG and sharp image as well Bill. Thanks for sharing. :)

Bill, I like the pose, sharp details and perch. The BG is lovely.

Loved the pose and the BG Bill. Wind effect on the feathers in neat indeed.

A tad more room at top might make it better, I am thinking.
