Very cool, Ken. Does this bird look this disheveled all the time, or is it in some kind of molting stage?

Excellent shot Ken, I like the bg as well as the bird as it's diffuse but not totally blank and it matches the bird well. devil

Ken, I love the color.The background is a great complement to the bird.. I possibly would have processed this picture in a landscape format. This would depend on what the branch looks like on either end. Keep up the good work partner. Ry
