I took this photograph last year and it reminds me of Malcolm's comment in Jurassic Park: "Life finds a way."
Thank you again for your consideration and critique!

Hmm... The conversion has left it a bit darker than the original. Sorry about that.
Update: Looks like firefox was to blame for it displaying darker. IE displays it correctly.

James, a nice look at that large beak and eye and the bird is sharp. I agree that it's a bit dark.

Nice pose. Yes, a bit dark and the perch is not my favorite.

The body feather details are very sharp. As mentioned, eye and beak area is a touch dark, selective processing might make a big difference. I am sure it was a challenge to get such a sharp shot of little one.
