Interesting perch, I like the soft light and BG. I wish the head were angled toward you a bit and I would tone down the whites of the flowers.

A great profile of this attractive species Neil. Nice exposure and background. This is a very active species and I might like to see it in a more typical, active pose. The white flowers, although lovely are a bit of a distraction. Could they be toned down a bit?
