Interesting pose, nice composition with the dangling leaves. Very nice image quality for ISO 1000 as well.

Well done.

Lovely pose and composition, Edward. The face looks tack sharp, but I do find myself wishing for enough more dof to keep the breast crisp.

A nice inquisitive type of pose really makes this shot for me plus it is sharp where it needs to be, way to go.

Pleasing tones, and I really like the pose, the downward look and the leaves. It's strange that the breast isn't more in focus with f/8, but its the eye that counts the most.

Thanks for the comments folks. I went back and double checked my shot settings just to make sure and it was definitely f8.
I also looked at the sequence of shots prior to this one and she was leaning way forward like getting ready to take flight. Then changed her mind and drew back apparently and that's when I snapped this one. That's my guess anyway.
