Great head turn, Ron. The subject appears a bit soft. Is this a large crop? :toast:

I love the comp and the inclusion of the straw like material with him looking at it. It does appear a little soft, but I like the bg. Sharon

The title is right on. I like the soft, muted colors both of the bird and bg.

Very well seen and composed, Ron. I see the softness also, but it doesn't bother me all that much. I am drawn by the image scales and the barb wire perch. The background is just tops and goes very well with the horizontal perch.
