Beautiful bird, love the green BG and the leaves, tack sharp.

Lovely bird, BG & perch. Perfect HA. TFS

Beautiful bird and scene. Everything looks great on this one. Probably not a setup but looks like one. Very Nice.

Nicely framed by the leaves Greg, a very nice composition and like the light catching the leaves as well....I wonder if perhaps the bird itself is a bit too color intense for this species.

Hi Greg,
Tack sharp and you have shown off the tiny size well because of the included leaves.
Good choice of comp as well.

Excellent framing and colour. Perfect positioning of the bird itself. Love the HA as well, stunning shot!

Great pose and details Greg. I really like including the habitat as it helps give me the sense of the size of the bird which I have never seen before.

Not many would have thought of a vertical here, but you did and it works wonderfully well! Great setting and framing by the leaves.
