Here's another bird from Texas, and another bird that also lives in my backyard. The only clean looks I usually get at home are when they're perched on my yard wall. This one climbed up on a log and posed for me.

What a poser! Beautiful bird and colors, almost metallic, she/he looks like is wearing a armored coat :)
The smooth light green BG is the perfect set up for the bird. Big congrats!
Great picture, beautiful bird. In my opinion perfect picture.
Big fan of your work.
Envious of your backyard Doug !!!! Can't ask for a better setup !!! Particularly like the fine detail and feel !!!
This is outstanding Doug with a wonderful pose and BG and excellent composition. Tack sharp and superb detail. Love this capture !!!!!
Outstanding image indeed Doug. Personally I would only increase contrast slightly. I like Fabs' remark about its armor!
A fantastic image with a lot of high quality interesting elements: BG, pose, sharpness, eye contact, head turn, perch, catchlight and... what a cute subject. Excellent work Doug
What a great pose! A little contrast boost might be all that is needed, but otherwise it's a great image.
Great soft light, setting, pose and BG. As mentioned a little boost in contrast and maybe some selective sharpening of the head would make it even better.
Fantastic detail Doug! great background and a super perch!
I keep looking at this and I kind find the words to describe it!! I love the image, the pose, the background, your subject! The scales look unbelievable, I just wish there was more light!
