Nice! Not a bird person, but have to say...this is fantastic. He or she seems sinister and I like that. The way you captured the feathers, him/her and the branch makes me see that. Plus the eye is just hard staring at me. Hands down a solid 10 in my book.

Back again - after looking at your photo again, the beak also does a number on me. Adding to my favs and if you don't put this up on DPC Prints - PM me if you're interested in selling a copy.

Good focus and composition but the blown out white sky hurts it a bit.

Beautifully sharp and lovely composition, but isn't it annoying when birds pose with twigs in front of them;)
