Nice, Jim.  Looks like you nailed the focus and exposure on this one.  I like the pose and composition.

I like how the perch branch splits the frame, and the diagonal/vertical graphic lines/flow Jim.

Great pose, nice detailsdevil

Nicely composed image Jim. Very smooth background offers the bird up well-excellent detail too.

Neat insquisitve pose here Jim, it feels a little tight particularly on the bottom if you have more room top and bottom a vertical would work well here.  I am seeing a fair amount of noise in the bg so I would run some nr on it. devil
