Dave ,
Very nice capture and composition, love the colors and details on your subject also like that nice mellow green background...the perch adds the perfect touch...:) Would like to have seen your bird just rotate his head a wee bit towards you...:cool:
The light is my compliant here, a bit harsh. Great duckweed bg, good head angle and cine compo. Sharpness and detail are also good. The whites look a bit hot, but with the light you had, it's a given.
