Grahame:
I like the scale of the perch, its angle along the diagonal implies a bit more motion/action, nice color matching.
The background is nice and soft, but almost looks too uniform. Natural or man made?
The image seems a bit muted on my monitor. I opened it in PS set to Pro Photo color space, and it was much more colorful and engaging.
I always find that shooting info, re: gear and settings allow for a more informed critique.
Cheers
Randy
