Everything comes together here...the pose, placement in the frame, background,and the prominent black shoulder. Very nice image.

Like the inquisitive pose. I would avoid cutting off the perch at the bottom of the frame, by pointing the camera down
just a bit you could include the cutoff parts as well reduce the empty space above the bird.

Please include exposure details with your images.

Love this species. Great red eye. The BG and perch are wonderful.

You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph
