This is so nice! Bird looks fantastic - light, exposure control, colours, sharpness, pose and detail are all spot on IMO! BG is lovley too! Perch is not as great as the other components but not too bad...:w3

Beautiful colors, background, and perch. Looks very sharp. The head angle is fine, but feels as if he is ever so slightly looking away. A degree or two towards the camera seems like it would have been even better. Fabulous bird, and great capture.

Quite excellent on all counts as noted above. A beautiful bird. I'd be OK with the head on a bit straighter, i.e., turned a bit more toward us.

Hi, Jim. Really nice shot of a cool species. BG and light look great and, while I agree with Ofer that the perch could have a bit more character, I definitely like the curve -- works really well with the pose.

Cheers,

Jim, amazing colours captured, and just love the feather detail. I do like the crooked perch.
