Hi Jon ... another lovely frame !!
Colors looking very good and the overall tonal range is well captured .
Sharp where it needs to be .... I could complain about the wing portion , but I would be more than happy with this outcome for the time being . Maybe with more shots like this I would think about of being more selective ....

Another nice image of this species Jon! I agree about the wing position not being as good as the other, but the flowers are better placed in the BG on this one. Nice work!

hi Jon,

very good.

Well done again Jon...The body of the bird is nice and sharp.....The 'movement' on the wings brings the image alive....I just wished that the wing nearest was in a better position.....I know..I know....but it would make a better frame IMO....The flowers add..
