Sitting on a branch in a patch of sunlight. Looks like he's about to say something, like "go away so I can get back to eating!"

| Good composition. The way the two branches matches with the black shades on the bird's face is nice. Could have been more sharper. |

| I like the framing of this, and the way the branch behind him seems lit in just the right places. |
