Beautiful shot. The pose is what makes the shot for me....a unique pose with a little head twist.

Yep, just a beautiful pose on a natural perch and it looks super sharp John. Love it.

Very cool pose and nice detail here John. Some of the whites near the ear look a bit too bright but the rest of the exposure looks perfect.

Certainly a unique pose and I like it a lot John. I also like your DOF, the reds look good and the whites behind the eye are improved in your repost.

Lots of attitude, excellent perch and great detail. Doesn't get much better than that.
