    Sid:

    The title made me laugh. I am sure he is just scratching, but it sure looks like he is talking on the phone.

    Nice exposure, sharp,good DOF.

    The 'flowers' are an interesting compositional element. I might try a version with the left one removed,

    Good to see you posting Sid.

    Cheers

    Exceptionally sharp with great details. Love the behavior and the title to go with. Really love the environmental elements included here. Nice to see you posting, Sid.

    Funny caption, great image. I'm digging the angle of view and the perch. I'm ambivalent about the flower stalks at the right.

    I had a big LOL on the title too. Great close look at this majestic creature. Your overall comp is great especially including the flowers and I like the mossy stuff on the perch too. My only suggestion would be to loosen it up just a little on the sides. I love a close intimate look so really just a teeny bit.

    sell this one to Verizon, Sid :-)

    loved the IQ....lots of details. Agree with loosening the crop. would have been better without the flowers IMO....when you get a pose, you dont always get everything else as you want.

    Superb image, Sid. Amazing details, sharpness and of course a very fun story :)
    The interesting perch and the flowers add nice additional elements.
    Love this image!
