Good eye contact and exposure control. Lovely perch and background too.

Really nice capture Rob. Great job on the exposure...especially the dark feathers in what looks to be a very low light area. I also like the mossy perch.

Very nice shot and good job handling the B/W contrast. Some nice detail for the iso and shutter speed.

Black and white birds can be difficult but you handled the exposure perfectly. Lovely background as well.
Excellent work
