What a beauty. A lot of images look good on the web......but I don't think they would all look good on the wall. This one is certainly a wall hanger. The vegetation, perch, BG and bird all come together for such a pleasing image. Well done.

absolutely stunning....sweet blend of hues in the bg and there is good eye contact
very minor: the clone repeats are quite obvious

It is a nice composition, but needs some re-work on the clones. The brown strip is a personal taste one, I don't like them. but it is not bad for a image, not bad.
