Wonderful pose you caught here ... BG and perch are lovely as well!
Very nicely done!

[Ofer Levy]

Very pretty image! I love it!

Fantastic Dan, such a pretty bird and captured so well. Only nit would be that bird and perch seem too centred and could perhaps be placed more to the right in a wider vertical format (3 : 4 ratio perhaps).

[David Pugsley]

Love the perch and background, but it's the whimsical little head turn/nod of the bird that makes it for me. Cheers!

lovely, nice perch pose & BG

[Stu Bowie]

I like the tilted head pose, together with the pastel colour of the BG. Yep, these guys are pretty quick in the air. :w3

Awesome image Dan, I love it as is!! Neat perch and excellent pose/head angle.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Just echoing all the nice comments above. Wonderful perch, bug and just love the head turn.
