Not sure about the sguiggle perch on the right. It pulls the attention off the very nicely done bird.

Beautiful, Nate.  I really like the vine snaking up the right side.  Excellent pose.

Yes the  right hand  of the perch is interesting.
 I am easy both ways. Great BG too and  cracking bird.

Marvelous capture of this beauty, I like the "squiggle".

Excellent capture of a very interesting bird, Nate!  The only thing I can suggest would be to brighten it a bit.  It seems a little dark on my monitor.

I 'm with Gary on this. Beautiful bird and bg but could be brightened up a bit.
