Ram, good leaning pose, well exposed on the darker plumage on his head, and sharp where it counts. There was no need to inform us that the BG is natural, it is clear for all to see. However, I would have maybe removed the two OOF twigs below the perch.
I love the image and I love the OOF twigs below the perch. They are soft enough to be not at all distracting and for me they add depth to the image. Great bird. Killer pose and HA. SH and EXP right on with nice detail in the BLACKs. AIA a truly excellent image.
