A very nice nothing special, Richard. I've always liked these, even though they're rather plain. Nice diagonal perch and a good pose.

Nice placement of this specimen in the frame. I really like the simplicity with nice detail.

Simple and beautiful. Great feather detail. The angle is a bit steep, but not a deal breaker. Well done.

Ideally wish the angle was more level, but still like this quite a bit Richard. Really nice techs, good placement in the frame, etc. Nice work!
