Excellent image with lovely composition of such cute bird. Very nice pose ,beautiful colors and sweet bg. Love the open beak. I would have cloned the middle branch which attract the attention.

Hi Peter, beautiful bird and nice to have it mid-song. I love the perch and you have nice details throughout. Harsh light that you handled best you could. A bit of a blown area near the cheek that you can clone in with a low opacity soft brush. A tad large in the frame in IMO. All-in-all a great first Avian post!!

Peter this so beautiful excellent on all counts..Little big in frame for me too...I wish it could be seen as thumbnail...many would miss seeing this beauty.

Lovely looking little bird. I like the nice simple presentation as well as the perch. Tail seems a bit crowded but other wise I am fine. I agree that with no Thumbnail many may miss this one.

I love the way the curve of the perch follows the curve of the bird. You did a great job. I agree with removing the center branch on the perch.

Nice and sharp. I like the perch and singing pose...Would give him some more room in the frame.
