I was a little surprised today by the sun so the highlights may be a little overblown here.

The highlights look fine on my monitor David, maybe a tad hot on the very left end of the perch, shooting up. Nice job on the exposure and headturn with catchlight. That great BG really helps show off the guy. Well done!
An ubiquitous little friend and nice shot of it! Love the eye/expression. And look at those spiky claws; would hate to get pinched by those! Would be nicer not to see the highlighted up-going branch at the far left-- the better to train my eye on the cute subject. Nice find, good catch.

Strange how Just a little turn of the head can draw your eye right in. :)

The highlights don't bug me. Being a bird watcher, I love a super sharp BOAS. Beautiful, and well done.
