Beautiful image and gorgeous bird, Jim. This setup is working very nicely. Like the head turn and foot grabbing the curled plant.

Hi Jim, great angled pose here, and those colours are really striking and do blend into each other so well. You are certainly getting your monies worth with that curly plant on the perch. :w3

Very nice one Jim. And great head angle. Good ligth, pose and sharpness.

[Joseph Przybyla]

Nice one Jim, beautiful colors on the bird, great background and perch. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jim. I like the pose, eye contact and details of the bird. It's sharp. Well done capture. If mine, would like to see BG in some other color to point out this beautiful bird a bit more. However you did the best.... TFS

Cheers, Miro

All good as noted above. Toning down the yellows a bit might improve it, as might eliminating the silver speck behind the curled plant.

[Enrique Patino]

great looking bird. very well done.

Another beautiful shot, Jim! Excellent pose, perch, eye contact and killer BG! TFS
