Great BG, AWESOME perch. So often I'm intent (focused? LOL,) on getting parallel to the wings that I don't notice that the body and head are angled slightly away - you captured the perfect pose. As is often pointed out to me, a touch of fill might help, (since these guys rarely let you set up a reflector!). Great shot!

Good light,
Craig
