Beautiful indeed Greg. Superb BG, HA is perfect & nice perch.

Love the way the stripes in the bird kind of match the perch. Very nice comp and image Greg.

I like the composition, though possibly a tad more space on the right would help as the bird is rather central, it was a good idea to retain the twigs on the left.

Ditto to what Jonathan said.

Great shot and fantastic details! Love the stripes. More room on the right would be nice. If the bottom where the branch split off is not messy, I personally, like to include more of that too.

Impressive bird Greg
i love the details and the composition , the colors looks so nice, the fire tail is visible too making it special

Perch and BG color matches the bird so well! Love the sharpness and detail.

Sweet shot Greg, he is perching nicely and nice detail. I'm in two minds about the branches though and i think either have more canvas on the bottom to reveal a little more of the union of the twigs or crop to just above the seed pod shown. I think also the image and bird overall has a slight yellowish color cast, but overall a sweet shot of these elusive birds.

Excellent light, pose & IQ. Very nice composition.
