A classic pose (height of action with excellent head angle) for this beauty!!!! Love the light, BG, even the grass as part of environment and of course the perch!!!!! Even like the highlight in BG and of course, the colors!!!! Congrats!!!!
Excellent timing. I would remove the leaf in from of the bird, I also find the white "dots" in the BG somewhat distracting which makes them look like huge dust spots. With that said, I think you did well with the exposure.
