    Great detail and pose Richard, Wish for more room and I find the branch a bit distracting.

    What a cool looking bird, and great alert pose, Richard. I too wish for more room and perhaps a bit more DOF so you could have had sharpness on the tail. You must have been pretty close here. Good details and IQ.

    Sharp with a good EXP. Cool bird. Nice pose and perfect head angle. A bit too tight in the frame and oh that extra branch....

    Nice pose and good sharpness. But yeah, that curved branch behind the bird is a bummer.
