Wonderful pose, perch & BKGR. I love the way perch is coming out of the frame. I would have considered cropping just from the edge of the perch to make is come from a corner. Also, you can consider toning down the perch & bird's breast a bit.

Very nice looking bird and comp. Great BG and HA. techs look good and not over exposed on my monitor. Good Job!

Very nice! It looks like it could use just a bit more selective sharpening.

Very nice shot. Nice pose, great background and comp. I would tone down the perch just tad.
Well done.
