He certainly looks right grumpy Chris!

nice BG and rock is what it is, perhaps could do with brightening a little though thats just fussy

I don't think he wanted his picture taken. Cool expression and pose, nice bg. Could tone down a couple of the brightest spots in the bg.

He looks totally peeved !...great character shot and detail is all there as well

I like that he in on a perch with the same colours as his feathers - all of them are in both the bird and the perch.

[christopher galeski]

thankyou for comments,Laurie,you are right,never saw the colors in the perch,same as the bird,thanks for your observation.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the grumpy down-the-barrel look! Very nice perch, and an OK background (but agree in toning down the few brighter highlights there). Could you have moved right to clear the subject from the rock behind it?

[christopher galeski]

I could have Daniel,but there was some more rocks,and the bird was a bit jittery,this sight is a disused quarry,agree on toning down the BG rocks,thanks.
