I love how the bird is highlighted from below. How did you do that? Great capture of detail.

He fills the frame well and the detail is great. One suggestion: some dodge and burn to really bring out the catchlight in the eye. It just looks a little duller than I think it could.

Very nice. I like the way his feet mirror the barbs on the wire

Nice shot. Bird on a wire almost never fails. Specially a colorful one.

I love the backlighting. Fantastic bokeh. I think a little more room around him in the frame would have been nice. Great colors! 7 from me.

picture perfect.

Only the wire makes it a bit 'less wild'.

Backlight is key in this shot for me. Well and the great color. Wonderful

Excellent portrait, BG is a bit grainy, but that makes me think this isn't overly PP'd.
