    Killer pose. Sharp with a perfect EXP. It seems that you are resistant to using thin, attractive perches :) The bird is a bit far forward in the frame and the large light circles are a distraction.

    The pose is super and I like the parallel lines between subject and perch. I agree said perch is not best though, and the comp could be strenghtened with additional cropping (at the risk of reduced IQ since this is already cropped much).

    Thanks Daniel, this crop was really the best I could do. Any more expansion to the right would have entailed a good bit of cloning (my fault for choosing this perch.) With that bkgr it looked like a tough cloning job.
