Cute little guy. He appears a bit shy.

I really like the warm light and the stretching pose. Very good feather detail too.

Interesting angle, Robert. Unfortunately, it creates a difficult bg and all the oof dirt tends to blend with the bird-a good thing for it, but not for the image. I like the head turn.

Love the lighting and detail you've captured Robert, but most of all that delightful expression :^)
