Nice one. Those are tiny birds. I would of opened it up some but that's just my style.
Lovely image, the bird looking right into the lens makes it very powerful
The colours are nice so are the details. the light necklace is special
May be a attempt to reduce the highlight on the out of focus twig in the BG may help enhance it more, in case it can be cloned out this will be a full winner.
Very nice . . . I like the bird looking at me . . . agree about diminishing effect of the OOF twig in BK . . .wonder if the black markings on the bamboo perch are natural or man-made?
Congratulations on getting this beauty out in the open. I think you did a great job. I like the way the bird is looking right at you. Your exposure and details look good. Wonder whether you may have a little more room down below for the tail.
