Doug, I really like the background you have created by using such a perfect DOF and also because the colors go so wonderfully with the bird. The stick on the left, however, is very distracting because it intersects with the beak. I know that when shooting from your car, the composition possibilities are rather limited so there may not have been anything you could do about that.

Good colors and detail on the larger version but that left stick really takes away from an other wise fine shot, good perch, pose and background.
