Smashing bit of sunlight you have captured here Chris, nice relaxed bird with lots of detail all on a nice bg,very well done with this.

Very nice Chris. Love the colours in the bird and BG and grasses. The grasses seem to anchor it all together.
Good shot Chris, I like the pose and the setting. I appreciate very directional light but I would suggest at the raw stage decreasing contrast by 1 if you use DPP I would also lower the highlights a tad and lift the shadows, if you already did that I would lift the shadows a little more in Photoshop and decrease the brightest highlights a little.
Chris:
I like the colors, composition, pose,bg.
The details on the breast look a bit coarse to me, perhaps a bit more sharpening. I do agree with Jon about lightening the shadows a bit, as some of the blacks under the bill are blocked.
Cheers

Lovely lighting Chris. Great looking pose and BG colour. Agree about whats been said already about the blacks.

Thanks for looking and comments.
Excellent image in pleasant lights. Very nice pose. Beautiful diagonal perch and environment.
Superb details and great composition.
