Hi Gus - I like it - nice capture - if it was me, I would quick mask out the branches (Top left and Bottom right and centre bottom)

Wow wish he would come to OZ for a visit.

HI Gus These guys are difficult to get in a clean area Have been trying for years and have come up empty.

I like the pose but feels very tight in frame and the branches take the attention form the bird The one at bottom center is particularly bothersome (the green one) There is also something going on with the color? Probably a cast from the surrounding vegetation

In cases like this I normally try to go for a body part Maybe getting feather detail trying a composition just showing the patterns !!!
