I like his messed up crest. I would crop some off the top.

Interesting silhouette, John. I'm inclined to agree with Sally. The tangle of branches at the top doesn't add anything for me.

Very unique. It appears your focal point was on the branch below the bird leaving the bird a bit soft. I am with the others on trying some cropping. That said, I do like the silhouette :wavey:
