    Lovely !....a dainty little bird on an equally dainty little perch, lovely simplistic composition , stunning fine detail. Only nit pic I would have would be to wish for a slightly lower angle, more at eye level, but a beautiful image Frank

    Beautiful and I've not much to add other than to say I agree with all the compliments offered already.
    Love the species too, quite handsome.

    Everything just right, I just love these little birds - a great shot. I especially like the fine detail in the dark plumage.
