    Love the background here, and the pose is very cool. Overall a great image.

    If you are ok with such things, I would consider cleaning the bird a little from the white flecks (especially the one close to the wing base).

    What a killer pose and your gradient-like BG really rocks. Love the fluffy details in the feathers and the angle. You have a winner here and perfect for the theme.

    Dumay:

    Great fun. I only have one question. Did he fall off?

    Sharp, nice light, great colors, and of course, the funky pose.

    Well captured.

    Cheers

    Bet you are going to miss your backyard in a few days time. Great pose for the theme, and how is that BG. Well captured mate.

    No flies on this one Dumay, a little belter.

    Well done.

    One of the more interesting images I have seen here in a while. The background is gorgeous.
