Very nice! Lovely autumnal colours, and I really like the branches framing the bird, very architectural. The only thing for me is that a head turn to the right would look great, but hey, you get what you're given!!!

Nice compositon and light too...

I love the colours and the natural framing too. Shame they won't pose the way you want them to, An image that I wuld be proud to have, nice work.

Lovely fall-setting!
Allthough i find the composition original i do find the perch a bit overpowering.

Greetings,

Personally, I really like the way that the leaves and the branch frame this shot. The light makes it for me though. Nice one.

Hello Phillip.

I really like the composition of the branch. The colours of the leaves with the nice backlite coming through really make a nice setting for the Kestral.
A very pleasing image to view.

Hello Phillip, I like the the aging character in the perch that make it for me the autumn tones just finish nicely Phillip you can hang it on my wall anytime you wish.

Hi Phillip

Very pleasing picture and well composed - my only wish is for the bird to have 'popped out' at you a little more!
