I like the pose Robert. I also like the perch and BG. Bird looks nice and sharp in the larger version and your exposure looks good. Nice shot.

Very nice job with the exposure, Robert. Excellent detail in the Blacks. I like the pose and the background is very nice. This is really nit picking but I do think I would be tempted to tone down the bright areas on the perch a bit.

Robert, this is very pleasing. Love the light, exposure and head turn.

I like the pose and the background adds nicely to this one. Plenty of detail in the larger version.
