And not looking too happy about it. Or is obsessively licking the cage and on the way to developing a nasty sore on his tongue. Poor baby :-( Selective desat does a nice job of emphasizing his expression.

Great capture, beautiful detail, great composition, clean background... in many ways a perfect capture ... and yet it doesn't thrill me in the way some bird photography does. Perhaps it's that black background, maybe there's part of me that feels more lifted when I see a more natural environmental backdrop that places the bird in context? I'm not sure. On the other hand, it's an image I'd be pleased as punch with, had I taken it myself!

Looks like our late Pierre Trudeau; indeed that is just the sort of thing he might have said.

I would like it so much more if the bird would be on the left and look into the negative space! Great tones.

Perfect expression of the life/death cycle

As I said already, I think this was the more creative choice, and I like it. Nice use of negative space. There are some dark pixelated areas showing in the upper corners, but it is probably not visible on many monitors. (No vote, comment only)

Very nice photo. Very clear and the colors are good. I see this as a hunter and hunted subject though.
