Probably my favourite of all you bird shots. Again super-sharp and great composition. When you start entering challenges again you are going to do really well!
I really like the drama of this shot, from the lighting I guess--the detail of the feathers is retained, tranluscence in the beak, the wood grain is nice too. Depth of field really works too!
Good picture. Sharpness on the bird is great, bokeh in the background is fantastic. Only wish the bird wasn't so directly looking away from me, or that his face wouldn't be so dark.
