    Very nice composure. I think I would like to see a little more space above his head though. The shot also looks slightly dark to me (but that could just be my monitor).

    Very nice composition, just as a nit pick I agree with Cara, it is a bit tight on top but again that for me is a nit pick.
    I do not see it dark, from here I see it well exposed.
    Nice shot,.

    I agree with Cara as well....but DOF,Comp, sharpness..all looks perfect from here. Nice shot!! If I had to nit pick, I would suggest that in the future take rapid shots of scenes like this. If you had taken this shot just a half second later, you might have been able to get the tip of its beak in the pic as well.
