Unusual placement of the bird in the frame. One would expect him to be higher, allowing for room to dive in to. But as presented it created some tension, so I rather like it. Love the pose. Don't love the halo around the bird! (Easy fix in PS)
Nice crisp silhouette, and I like the fanned tail feathers. I'd rather see the bird placed slightly higher in the frame. I don't see a halo on my laptop.
It's not a sharpening halo, extends wider than that and is very visible on my NEC calibrated monitor. I believe it comes from levels adjustments. (Or a shadow/highlight adjustment, not sure how Joe processed this) Probably not a big deal, I'm super picky, especially with images that I really like.
