Sharp, good exposure, nicce pose and head position. And I like the bug. Barring a more attractive perch I would have panned down just a bit to just below the second concentric ring...

later and love, artie

Very cool bird. If you could only have gotten a nicer perch for him.

I Iove the sharp eye and the color of BG!

[John Cooper]

This is a very nice portrait Arthur, (another new species for me). The lovely warm tones of the bird are complimented nicely by the light green BG. Agree with Art re the perch.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I haven't seen this species before. Thanks for sharing. I agree with the other comments and would add that the BG looks a bit noisy.

What an unusual bird!!! This is a first for me, I've never seen one before. Nice composition.
