    Hey Allen,
    Really nice angle and the only recommendations I have for you are very minor.....tone down the yellowish perch area at the base and teh other....blow the thing up to 400% and clean up some of the brightest specs on the wings....not really necessary but it will go a long way in making this stand out even more. All in all.....very well done!

    Nice pose and subject. Would have liked the tip of the left wing a bit more in focus. I like the perch but agree about toning down the bright area. Very nice Bg.

    Hi Allen. You captured a very nice pose with good overall sharpness. I also like the diagonal comp and the excellent background. I would agree with toning down the lower section of the perch and cloning some of the specular highlights in the wings and head. I think these tweaks will make this cool image even stronger. Overall, this is very well done.

    A gorgeous image, I think the suggestions made are valid and good..... but as the image stands I think it looks entirely natural and believable, and more than acceptable - nice one, no as I said gorgeous!
