Spotted this little fellow on a walk a few days ago. Got a few images, but liked this one for the pose.

Charles,
Sharpness is good; however, I'm not a huge fan of this pose & head angle. If the bird was looking a bit more up and towards you the image would be stronger. The background is also somewhat noisy, and could stand round or two of noise reduction. I also believe the size of the image you posted is larger than the maximum per BPNs guidelines.

Thank you Ryan, I have reduced the size of the image to 1024 pixels on the longest size.
I had an itching feeling that the head angle was going to kill it for some, so thanks!
So that's why I usually don't shoot portrait :D
