Due to morning fog at distance had increased f value to grab the details through the fog. I personally liked the environ here as usually we see them on higher perch on tree top and this one was just 9/10 feet high thorny bush where it came and sattle for few minutes.

C&C Welcome

here's another version for those who thinks a stop more exposed.

i had that in mind but than while doing the OP i thought giving it that feel might be good with that fresh juv soft pluamage.
