Another killer liftoff! Love the eye contact, and the far wing is just low enough to be clear of the beak. Nice.

My only suggestion would be to shift the crop up a bit; the top of the frame feels a bit empty, and the
bottom of the perch is really close to the bottom of the frame. The perch is as good as the bird, so
getting it off the frame edge will force more attention onto it.

Another good frame of this species Jon .
I do like the pose , glad he took off the right way .
Colors look nice as does the tones , nicely processed with lovely details and good sharpness .

Nice work altogether ... TFS Andreas

Really nice work Jon! The wings down is great so is the two tone BG. Dorian makes a good suggestion if you have the room. Nicely done!
