All good but for the crop suggestion 🙁 For me. Hey, you need to calibrate: the sky is 255, 255, 255 🙂

ps: I love it. As is 🙂

The twig at the tail does not bother me because I see some separation. I would make a 1/3 up from the bottom to the middle of the image crop to remove some of the branches at the bottom of the image. For my taste, that would simplify the image and keep your eye on the bird. My monitor might not be calibrated like yours but I would brighten the whites and keep that rich black in the remaining parts of the image. If I was going to print I would put a very light black, almost invisible vignette around the image to break up the blacks.

Thanks for all you do for us and batten down the hatches in the event Irma pays you a visit. I am dealing with the aftermath of Harvey. (Not fun)
