    Wonderful shot. I really like the low angle and the light is just amazing. Superb detail and pose. Im hung on wether removing the leaf or not. The more I look at it I think it adds to the image though. Well done.

    Great angle and complimentary colors...Light is fantastic and the addition of the dry leaf balances the comp nicely...Lovely stuff Troy!

    Lovely light on the bird . The leaf adds a lot to the image . I am not sure if cropping the lower part by 10 pixels would enhance the image , definetly worth a try .

    Great light, angle, and eye contact, Troy. I like the inclusion of the leaf. Would be interested to see this with a little cropping at the bottom, too.

    Love the leaf and I too would take a bit from the bottom as all that out of focus area does not add to the image, in my opinion.
