Great details on a beautiful bird! I might crop a bit from the bottom and get rid of the one bare twig sticking down.

Great job getting these Corkscrew birds on such a great perch. I know it is not an easy shoot over there.

Beautiful bird and a species I still have to see in the field. I might clone out the bright round spot at the bottom.

I really dig this image! I do have mixed emotions about the bare twig below the bird. On one side I want to clone it out because it is not that pretty, but on the other side I feel like it would create too large of a void there if cloned out. If only there was a leaf or two at the tip! I absolutely love the spriralling perch, and I like the "in the shade" mood of the photo.

Beautiful color, Fabs. A marvelous bird. A smile for that last name. I didn't notice that you were going by that new name until now.

Just a beauty, Fabs. I think the twiggy branch is OK and does not detract from the composition.
We have a bird like this in the US? Wow!
