Just playing in the yard. Lots of these guys here right now. Taken in the rain. Not the greatest of perches. :-)

What a wonderful and inquisitive pose with beautiful colors you have captured,Bonnie ?
Love the pose, pleasant colors of bird and backdrop,details on bird,perch and composition.
A nice image, Bonnie. The yellow against the green is a great combo. I like the feather detail, and the pose. The perch works fine for me--provides a nice diagonal in the composition. The red in the BG under the left end of the perch is slightly distracting.
The perch may have a plain texture to it, but I like the curves in it, and the wet look has helped too. Very appealing BG. The subject is properly exposed and well detailed...just wish for a better head angle relative to body angle (even if the head is parallel to the sensor here). I also think the image is a little "cyan" on the yellows.
