Nice image. I do like your having detail in both the shadows and the highlights. Very strong light. At first I thought the barbed wire would be a distraction, but in the larger image to me it all comes together very well. Thanks for sharing.

Keith, Very neat image. I like the pose you captured here and I like the perch, wire and all. If this were my image I think I would try to tone down the highlights on the left rim (right side looking at the image) of the facial disk- to me the bright light is a tad hot.

I agree that in this image the perch, wire and all, really fits, and the colors here are really nice. I *might* try having the bright side just the tiniest bit less bright, but I'm not sure.
