Found this guy while looking for other subjects. Not sure what is on his right foot. Removed a few errant twigs on the left side. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. Comments and critiques welcome.

One of the best shots I've seen of this bird. The feather detail is very nice. Great look at the eye. The background is lovely in way it compliments the subject.

Beautiful as always Jerry. The detail on the head and body is incredible.

Nice one Jerry, very pleasant and matching BG colors. I framed one two days ago, a vagrant that ended up here. If interested, you can check my latest blog: www.hansoverduin.nl/blog/ .
Your shot however is much nicer ! Cheers,. Hans

Jerry,
Great shot. Isn't it wonderful when we go looking for certain subjects we are surprised by what we find. Sweet little guy on an interesting branch and good background.
