Love the perch, pose, eye contact. The angle seems a bit steep but not a problem I don't think...birds sit in trees. I like the image and have never seen and probably will never see one of these birds.

I like the pose and eye contact. I wish for a lower angle and would try to get more details in the blacks by using curves or S/H. The BG is a bit noisy. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting one Marc, I see it is a cream-back, quite unusual. As you probably know, usually the back is red-brown.
