Inquisitive pose. Why shot at 267mm?

Less space at the top and right and more at the left would have been good. That would have ensured less of bright sky. Its eyes would look great in sunlight. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice pose captured. Agree more space in the direction it is looking would be good. The perch is good. Wish the light was better. Thanks for sharing.

The pose is nice. Agree that less space on the right would have been good. Some light in the eye would have created a nice mood. Thanks for sharing.
