Nice perch and good catch light in the eye, Brian.

Tail is a tad OOF but I think that's OK. adds to the feeling of depth.

Tiny partial branch in front of the bird helps to frame him.

Cheers,

Carol

Very nice detail Brian and I like the cleanness of the shot. I'm wondering with this background if you could have upped your ISO to allow you to maintain your SS and get more DOF for the tail. I don't mind it as is but personally I'd prefer it sharp.

Wow this is razor sharp! Great job. The lichens on the perch add some nice texture and the BG and exposure are excellent. :toast:

I agree with Ron D's assessment Brian. Love the shot, but given your techs it looks like you could have squeezed out a bit more DOF for the tail.
