Interesting point of view in this image. I like the BG and the detail in the bird, but find myself wishing for a bit more of the bird facing the camera. Thanks for sharing.

That's a dramatic eye ring! Very good bird. Neither the light or the steep angle were doing you any favors, but you got everything the bird gave you.
