You did very well getting close. My only nit might be the blurred wire.

Quite an intense expression! I did not notice the wire, but it would probably be easy to retouch.

I like this, Jefferson. nice comp and colors in the larger version. little things that could improve this in photoshop would be reducing the exposure on the brightest parts of the post and using the healing brush to eliminate the horizontal blur (wire?) in the bg.

A nice comp Jefferson. the perch and brightest part of bird are too bright IMO. I would work on bringing those down if this were mine.

Nice capture. Agree about the wires, but it is a great shot none the less.

Great sharp capture. :wink:
A better choice for vertical IMO :toast:

Hello all,
thanks to everyone for commenting. I'll work a little as suggested.
I usually compose as landscape, most of the times, and I'll start paying attention to vertical as well.
Merry Christmas...
