well the bird has high hopes..lol. cool capture. the angle of the shot of this bird sitting on the eagle artwork is great. the capture of the light is great. the clarity is great. the presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

A good looking image posted here into the competition together with interesting notes too! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that amusing scene. Well done and good luck!

A fabulous idea, and an excellent composition, but unfortunately the image is very blurry and lacks definition, and in parts the whites are rather burnt out.
As he was perched there for such a long time I wonder if you've taken other shots too?
In a situation like this I tend to take my first (safety) shot, then gradually and very slowly try to creep closer and closer, taking more shots at every step. Eventually the bird will take flight, but if you do it slowly enough you'll find the closer you get the better the photo. Just an idea for next time! :)

This is cute that a real bird sat on the head of a man-made eagle. I would like more details in the large eagle's head to add beauty but the item is nicely built. The green leaves and much dark are nice. Best wishes by the unique work entry.

I like your idea behind this. And your dad's too to scare away other birds. But little fellow doesn't seem to care!:) But you need to clean it up in terms of focus, light and contrast to attract more eyeballs. Good luck!

I like the thought behind this,but the focus is quite soft and the white on the eagle is slightly blown out in this,but can see why you wanted to take this...Brian

This is quite an interesting image, perfect timing to capture this bird as it sits on the crown of the artificial eagle.
The reviewer will look for a clear, well defined subject with correct management of the light to bring forward true and natural colors .
Here, unfortunately both the little bird and the artificial eagle are very soft on focus causing a loss of detail , I also see over exposure in the whites.
When photographing any living thing, always focus on the nearest eye. Here the eye is not visible.it's most important to capture the eye because it shows the life.
This is a unique image and you have composed it well, I hope you get a similar opportunity.
Thank you for sharing.
