The capture is great Claus. I'm not sure about the contrast as it appears a bit bright on the bird. Maybe harsh shooting light as well?

The light does not seem to be helping you here. Everything else is working -- Feather ,thorns,V in perch,food,head turn.

Really like the eye contact. I agree that the contrast is a little much.

Very nice shot. I love the pose and the feather. I don't know the true colors of this bird but it looks a little blue/magenta to me. I would warm it up a bit then back off on the contrast and you'll have a real winner! :toast:
