Nice composition, Allen. I like the pose and the environment works here. Some of the lichen looks pretty bright and for some reason, the bird itself seems slightly soft.

Hi Allen,
Nice setting for this tough to get bird. I see the softness on the bird that Dennis mentions. I wonder if the focus grabbed on to the branch in front somewhere. Fine BG and pose.
