Not an ideal perch but I think not too bad.

Hi Jon ... well this image is way better than " not too bad " , at least for me .
I am fully ok with the perch , one can always try to get the perfect perch ... but it is more about the subject and not the perch , IMHO.
The subject does stand out , is well rendered and pose is good enough !!!! Plenty of details and nice overall colors . As the sun was shining ... maybe a touch warmer ???!!! Fitting to taste ???

Cool shot nicely presented , Jon
