Fantastic pose and perch. Seems a wee bit over sharpened. The BG has a fair amount of noise and what looks like a couple of cloning artifacts. Was this a signification crop?

Chet, the pose is attractive and perch is nice too. The lighting is also very complementary. But there is a lot of noise and processing artifacts (see the LLC) in the image. Not sure if this was a large crop or you oversharpened the image.

Thanks John and Govind for your comments. This was a significant crop and also a scan of 35mm film. Chet
