Posing Bird

After landing I thought he would fly away once he spotted me.
A few words exchanged and I was allowed 7 attempts. After some cropping from the right to remove part of the tree and I came up with this.

His black silhouette in front of the blue sky with the shaded bark of the tree is intriging to me for some reason.

I went in to shop and returned to take more pictures of the tree only.

Would like to get feedback on this one:-)

I'll post the original and the 6 other options here.
