The soft light really works here, woodie pictures tend to have blown whites when taken in direct sunlight.
In this instance I would have also experimented with a landscape format to create some more "negative" space to the right, Clipping the LH side of the log would pronabably have the same effect. At present I just find that the log/perch is a little dominant and cramping out your main subject.
Just viewed this on my works monitor compared to my home monitor and it has gone substantially thinner now, must be different resolution settings

Looks like you've been getting some nice stuff with these Lea. Might add a little more warmth overall but I'd certainly be pleased with anything like it..

Nice one Lea - no nits from me

Works nicely for me, although perhaps a tad off the left. That is only a personal preference though, overall a very pleasing image Lea.
