Lovely detail and colours on the bird John. I also like the look back pose. The BG colours show the bird well.

Nice detail and light. The clean perch, BG, and head turn are great. Being super nit picky here but I consider cloning out the brown OOF branch touching the tail as its just a little distracting. Techs look good as well. TFS

Thanks for the feedback. - "consider cloning out the brown OOF branch touching the tail as its just a little distracting." - Yep, easy fix.

Wonderful capture, John. Nice pose, light and lots of fine detail with a lovely BG.
