Always entertaining - the European starling

Great shot...helped maybe by the nice posing!

Can I suggest a couple of things?
1) I´d put a hi-light in the eye (I´m wondering if you Photoshopped it out?)
2) Burn in the branch a little, maybe the feet too, for a slightly more natural look.

That's a cracking shot, Fangman! Nice detail, and interesting pose. Well done.
