Hi Mike,

Lovely setting. I wish the berries were not as strong in the BG which adds some distraction. Looks like the fill didn't reach the bird.

one of my favorite birds!! and i like the setting too. the berries do distract a little, but i dont mind because the bird is so beautiful. would like to see a little light in the eye.

Good job keeping the front of the head out of the berries. I really like the soft colors.

That is one well fed bird, Mike!!!
Wish his head was not merging into a berry, but that is minor.

Nice pose and I rather like the oof berries in the bg. Good exposure and sharp detail. Wish the perch were cleaner, but still a very nice image
