Just about perfect DOF, lovely details in the highlights and shadows, great pose what more could you ask for (apart from a weathered post:w3) fine shot.

Cracking shot Joe, well done mate. Great pose and HA. Lovely detail on the bird and perch. BG finishes it of perfectly. Nice one.

Nice pose and good head angle, good background as well.

Hi Joseph,

A fine image. Well exposed and a lovely clean background.

I would suggest placing the bird a bit more to the right when doing your cropping. Also, you may add some more space in the top if available.

Regards
Steen
