It is the same perch and background but different pose.
Also I removed the spent Thistle head from the right. Full frame, cut from vertical.
(I moved the bird to the left in the frame but not much as the larger negative space just did not look good.)
Thanks for looking.

Karl, This rocks. What a lovely image of this species. Perch, background, and subject all come together for a nice presentation.
Wonderful perch, beautiful detail, and the framing is perfect for my tastes.
Super shot very elegant gorgeous details. My only suggestion would be to consider moving the bird slightly to the right and maybe a 4:3 ratio, much as I love the image as is it looks very "central" to me.
Beautiful Karl. Love the perch , the light . Its all good
Wonderful image , the composition looks wonderful and superb colours

Excellent image Karl! I like the pose, perch, exposure, sharpness and BG. I would take a little off the right side and add it to the left comp wise. Still a beauty as presented.
