    This was taken at my backyard set-up. This was the only image that turned out okay with this perch. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

    Nice contrast against the dark green backdrop, nice head turn and detail, diagonal seed head works nicely, not sure if the yellow is a tad bright or not, likely monitor differences

    Great contrast between the subject and BG. Loving the perch. Yellows seem a bit bright here as well.

    Magnificent image with nice contrast against the dark green BG. Love the inquisitive pose, colors and beautiful diagonal perch.

    Sweet bird, with a great pose on a nice perch against a great bg.
    Comp works nicely too. I too would tone down the yellow a bit.

    Hi Jim, it must be fun to play and select a perch of the day. This one has character, and you certainly captured contrasting colours. I like the pose, yellows look good, as does the BG.
