Nice warm light on the bird , love the BG too :)

[Stu Bowie]

Good HA and eye contact, and I like the sharpness. Light looks good, and not the softest perch he's landed on.

There is a certain quality to this image - beautiful colours and light - congratulations.

[Don Lacy]

Wonderful light makes this a beautiful image, well done.

[Morkel Erasmus]

stunning detail, light and colours. love the eye! I wish the one twig didn't cover part of its wing.

This came out really good Ram. Judging by the position of catchlight and the shadows, seems like you had light at a steep angle. Well done in those conditions. Good exposure, comp, sharpness, BG and head angle.
