Lovely clear shot, and I rather like the perch as well, we have these birds here as well, an introduced species, and they are very very shy. I've been trying for 3 years to get a great shot of one of these...still trying

Excellent image! I like the pose, perch, details, sharpness, lighting, composition and complimentary BG.

[Colin Knight]

It's all there! Nicely done. First thing that stood out was the sharpness, then that beautiful background. TFS!

Very nice indeed, I like the perch and clear background. The colours are pleasing but I wonder what it would look like just a little bit warmer?

Fantastic Ovidiu! Love everyting about it!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Excellent perch and techs! Love the glance towards us. I thought the reds were more vibrant in this species, or maybe its just me? Very lovely nonetheless!!

[OvidiuCavasdan]

Jonathan, it looks good also a bit warmer and I do like the warmer version, the in camera image is warmer ("cloudy" white balance), a bit too warm compared to reality so I did adjust the temperature.
Daniel, reds are not very vibrant in this species, but it also depends on light and angle, at least in my experience.
Thank you all for comments.
