I like the comp and the interesting perch. I think the direction of the sun is more of a problem than the harshness of the light. Still a nice shot, I just wish he was facing the other way.Your processing looks really good given the conditions.

love the setting, just wish the light on the bird was better.

I like the look at this bird from this angle, but I sure wish for a bit more of a head turn. Overall comp is nice IMO.

Nice composition and I like your choice for dof. Next time ask him to spin around for you, so you catch that pretty orange breast with the light! Oh, your birds don't listen, either? :wink: Sharon
