Nice perch. Wish the head turn was slight more in your direction. Seems it had caught something. The colours are nice. Would have liked just a bit more space at the bottom. Nice to see you got it sharp while handholding. Look forward to more.

It looks a bit dark. A positive exposure compensation would help. The light was not favouring you, so the eyes were not properly lit. You can handhold as long as the shutter speed is high. Else, you lose out on details. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
