A beauty of a shot Dan, maybe just a tad more tail room for me. Great techs.

[Dave Leroy]

A very nice clean and "simple" shot. Very well done. Lovely perch and really nice complimentary bg. Agree with comment about tail room.

[Ofer Levy]

Very sweet! Just a bit more top and right.

[Grady Weed]

Tail room mentioned. But all else is sweet! Is it not a amazing that a bird can perch on a stalk of grass and it not bend over? Excellent eye contact and a great capture of such a brilliantly colored bird. Good exposure and nice crop.

[Troy Lim]

Superb shot with great suggestions already made.

[Stu Bowie]

Super pose, and I like the soft light and colours. Sharpness looks good, and agree a touch more room top and right will improve this even more.

[noelle zaleski]

Sure is a cutie! I also like the soft colors of the bird and BG.

I agree with the suggestions about giving him more space on top and right.

[Dumay de Boulle]

lovely light and pose...I would take some off the bottom and add to the top and right! Nice one Dan!

[Joe Senzatimore]

Beautiful pastel feel to this one.:S3:

[Randy Stout]

Dan:

Lovely, soft feel. Yes to bit more top and right. Well done.

Cheers

[Craig Kerr]

A super crisp shot with a wonderful warm back ground.... Would crop some of the bottom off and provide more space on the right

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent pose and sharpness. Just love that perch and the bg. Agree with the suggested comp.
Great work!

[Arthur Morris]

Lovely bird, pose, head angle, and SH with a very sweet BKGR. Pulling the curve down a bit would improve it from here as it seems a bit light overall.

[Arthur Morris]

In retrospect, framing it a bit more toward the front of the frame would have been ideal.

Thanks for the comments and crop suggestions!
