Somewhere in the processing, this has developed an excessive blue color cast. I give the comp and the low angle an A.

Nice and simple Oscar. I suspect the cast is in fact blue sky........

Image looks like it needs a slight CW rotation and isn't as sharp as your usual stuff :wavey: :toast:

Nits already covered, but I like the low angle, and the fact that the bird is still showing some signs of summer plumage.

I might be tempted to straighten it but love the low angle.
