Great composition, Rob. Your dof is perfect to get everything is crisp focus and you still managed a smooth bg. Nice job.

I don't even know what to say here, Rob...this is crazy good. Just fantastic pose, perch, comp, light and techs on a very interesting subject. I'd give this one whatever is above A++.

Really digging this image Rob. The texture in the perch really seems to compliment the texture and colors in the bird. Nice work!
