I like the bg, the tree and the sharpness of the bird. I am not sure about the alternate and unusual placement of the subject, but all things considered, there probably isn't a choice.

Very nice shot of this bird. Nice detail in the bird and the tree and I like the palm frond BG. I would tone down the contrast a bit though.

Beautiful! If possible, I would have liked to have had less of the green veg on the left, and more trunk to the right. The strong striping of the green veg competes for attention with the bird. :toast:

Love the comp and designs you caught. Wish the light wasn't so darn harsh. Neat shot :toast:
