Everything is pretty much perfect. Great singing pose, sharp with a good EXP, nice REDs, and nice blacks. A pose with the wings raised more might make it even nicer. But, it is very excellent as is.

with love, artie

A fine image with a nice clean background where the green color is a perfect match to the black bird. Also, I like the spread out tail.
