nice exposure and nice alert pose. sharp. not the best perch and the OOF branches makes the BG a bit busy and distracting.

Dan, IQ of bid and pose are lovely. Not loving the OOF branches in the top BG but I really like the gray color and the contrast it creates,

Nice pose, and the desaturated BG works well with the yellow bill. I'm OK with the BG branches as a whole, but I'm not fond of the one behind the tail or the twig touching the head.

I think the bird is excellent, but sorry don't like the monochromatic treatment on the background, it seems to keep taking my attention from the bird.
