Well, I’ve yet to get this one, David. Heck, I haven’t even seen it, so you’re well ahead of me. This is superb. That perch is awesome and the detail in the bird is just perfect. Excellent work.

Wonderful, both the pose and the IQ! Colors, sharpness and detail all look great. My only thought is to wonder about darkening the moss a bit, nut certainly no big deal. I don’t remember what software you use but it would be easy with a brushed-on quick mask and a curve adjustment layer (in PS) or a local adjustment in LR. No need for tedious edge masking.
