This is really a lovely image. The BG is gorgeous, and I like the perch and grasses. I would probably prefer not seeing the branch on the left since it is a tad distracting but the image still works very well.

Wow bird and superb details here Greg
the eye and the BG is stunning
i like the idea of keeping the OOF branch here some how balances the composition to my eye

[Robert Holguin]

Great shot.
Beautiful bird.
I really like perch, nice lean background, and I like the green vegetation on the bottom.
I agree with Marina on the oof branch.
Well done.

Beautiful shot, Greg. the colors, the BG, details. I like your composition and the size of the subject in the frame. Nice one.

[PhilCook]

Nice one Greg, I also think keeping the second branch in makes for a nicely balanced comp

[Grace Scalzo]

Lovely little fellow, perched so nicely and well expsoed to show off the pretty colors and his eye. I'm ambivalent about the second branch. It does provide some structure to the image, but the heaviness and the fact that it's oof is a bit distracting.

Comments on lovely bird covered above. I would have cropped tighter on LHS and cloned out last bit of branch. Everyone has a different approach....
