Valentin- LOL. I love the beauty of this picture, but man does he look like he would rather pluck your eye out than to say hi. They do have that look to them. Framing is outstanding. Love the lighting and clarity. The colors are just gorgeous but I really love is the pose first of all, and then to stunning details of the bird and the tree branch its sitting on.Carol L.
