This was from earlier this year at the Dallas Rookery. Processed using Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC 2014. I added a bit of canvas on the right and cloned out a few errant branches on the left. Comments and critiques welcome..

Nice pose and exposure, the eye is clear with good details overall. Attractive shade of blue for BG, and the stick adds well Jerry.

Great shot!devil

Nice detail and a great pose, Jerry.  The larger version is really cool.

Nice clean image, sweet details and I like the perch too. Stick in the beak is a great touch. enlightened

Very dynamic pose, Jerry. I like the minimalistic composition and the color schemes. The large version is very sharp. devil
