that's a nice looking portrait Ian, I particularly like the background.

Why would you want any lower an angle than the one you have? It looks pretty much as if you are at eye level with the bird, the angle of view has created a nice smooth background and you can see all the relevant detail ........ nowt wrong with that. A fine portrait.

Would have preferred a landscape Ian with the bird looking out of the pic from the left more . Not always possible I know,
Just a personal opinion which some will certainly not agree with
. Cheers
