Hi Philip,
A most attractive portrait. I'm going to go agaianst the grain here and say I quite like the minimal amount of perch visible, as shown. I agree with Andy about loosing the odd blade of grass.

A little beauty with lovely soft lightning, I like it just as it is apart from cloning away the bit of oof vegetation.

Cracking image Phil. Superb detail for such and at such a slow shutter speed. Impressed.
