    very nice eye contact and light, sweet BG, the IQ is not good however, it has a painting-look especially in the beak and plumage area...

    Hi Dan, I like the pose, and you have captured good eye contact here. Overall, well exposed, and that BG is a killer. Comp wise, if this were mine, I would take some off the top, and maybe move him back to the left a touch.
