Jon:

Sweet little fellow, sharp and well exposed. Nice placement of bird along the perch.

I could see a version cropped in a bit from left and right.

Nice bg.

Cheers

The whole thing is a pleasure to look at Jonathan. Superb detail all over the place, creamy smooth BG.

Very nice Jonathan. Great overall scene with very nice exposure and detail. The perch and the super smooth BG make for a real winner. Great job on this one. Oh ya, the bird being parallel to the sensor really made this perfect.

Excellent setup.Great light with sharp detail. Lovely perch & BG. TFS

Very neat and trim image of this bird on it's visually appealing perch.
I particularly enjoy the way you have cropped/presented the image.

[Satish Ranadive]

This is absolutely superb image with wonderful composition.
Rest every thing is perfect as usual. Love it.

This image is so much better than the previous one. In fact this image is strikingly beautiful, Jonathan.
There is a great balance between the perch and bird.

[Gabriela Plesea]

Beautiful photograph, the subject looks so delicate and minute among the lichen-certainly a very well balanced image that is so pleasing to the eye:S3:

Kind regards

Ooh, I like this one!
I like the comp you chose and the nice smooth BG.
Bird looks sweet. Perfectly parallel to the sensor I like the shape of the perch as well.
I see a bit of a magenta cast in the legs but this may be the way it is IRL.
