Interesting subject and setting with nice colors. The centered bird works for me, given the other elements of the composition. Lovely image. I'm curious about the filamentous white strands by the left foot - they don't look like spider silk...

Nicely done :smile: I like the detail and colors as well as the pose you caught this bird in. Also like the way you have the bird framed with the branches. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely shot. I wonder how it might look off center and more tightly cropped.
