Beautiful setting, BG, light and singing pose. The plumage looks a tad oversharpened on my monitor and I'm not sure about the leaf in the upper right.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

Nice colors and nice details,agree with Axel for the leaf in the upper right,I would prefer to clone it

[Leroy Laverman]

Axel's points are right on target. I would consider cloning out the disembodied leaves on the left side as well. If you have it a little more room on the bottom to keep the tip of the bottom most from being clipped would be good as well.

I love the pose, background and foliage along with this bird. Well done.

[Mike Lentz]

Axel is right on. A beautiful image you have here, Glenn!

[Steve Maxson]

You have another winner here, Glenn. I have mixed feelings about the leaves in the upper corners and my opinion has gone back and forth on this. I think, because the URC leaves are shaded and clipped, it would be better to remove them. I agree with LeRoy that a little more room on the bottom to fit in the full leaf would be good, if you have it..

[Gus Cobos]

Nice composition Glenn,
I like the natural perch, I must agree with the over sharpening on the bird, also the yellows on the head are poping saturated, you might want to tone it down just a tad...:cool:

[Fabs Forns]

Fantastic lighting sets the mood for this beauty, everything from compo to exposure is spot on! Agree you could go a point less sharpening.
The leaf in the right gives balance to my tastes.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

A wonderful image in all aspects! the BG is also very good.

[Lance Peters]

looks great to me - love the overall feel to this image - great work.

Stunning shot !

[Kaushik Balakumar]

excellent image. agree with others on bringing down the sharpness.
but i like the leaves on the top-right-corner & might prefer to leave it as it is.
