Nice and sharp with a solid exposure too. Not crazy about the perch. If a higher shooting angle was possible, I would have tried for an all green BG.

An attractive bird I have never seen, sharp and well exposed.
TFS.

Sharp and very nice pose on this one, myself I done mind the perch, it's aged steel that I think makes it work OK, but I am a little distracted by the brighter sky on the top left though so a different angle of approach may of helped with that......185mm.... woot !...now that's getting up close and personal.

Nice job on the bird. I am also distracted by that bright BG

Love the frame.Would tone down the brighter BG.

Cool subject, nicely posed. I don't mind the perch. As is, I think cropping some off the top
of the frame is a worthwhile consideration. The background control is not the greatest here,
but at 185mm, your just taking in too much background. Throwing a lot more focal length at
this same scene (say at least 400mm), while keeping your same shooting position, could
have yielded much better background control and also helped to minimize the elevated shooting
angle...

Nice capture with good detail. The perch does fit because they are often seen in city environments. Here they're called "Bichufue" which pretty well matches the sound of their call.
