    I don't about this one, I would have loved an open eye, but this is the most unusual pose I have of these guys.
    I can't decide whether to even keep it or not, opinions appreciated.

    Nicely positioned in the frame but the closed eyes and the vertical stick both lessen the impact....

    I don't mind the closed eye as i can see just a tiny bit of it and I think it makes him look content. I am also glad to see the second eye is visible. Not liking the vertical stick either but I do like the perch

    Probably one of those types of images that I would keep for the interesting behavior. That being said, I keep FAR too many of this type.
