The softness does not bother me as much as how tight the bird is in the frame. The peek a boo pose is great.

Eric,
Interesting shot. Have you considered widening the canvas on the right to give him some space to fly into? You did not mention when and where you took this shot. It looks like breeding colors. Is this from the day we were in Irvine Park?

I also like the peek-a-boo look. I agree with others it's a bit tight in the frame.
