That very attractive Joel. I like head angel and b/g . I like the darkness of the perch as It really makes the bird pop.

[Steve Canuel]

Beautifully colored bird. I like the head angle and slightly opened wings.

For a set-up, I would probably choose a smaller perch for the bird, but it doesn't really bother me either. Lovely little indigo and nice background and light. There seems to be a green color cast that I imagine would be an easy fix. Nicely done.

sweet pose and details, great BG. A smaller perch would have been ideal

it has a bit of a color cast to my eye too.

[Karl Egressy]

The bird looks nice. Love the feather details, and pose. The perch is on the heavy side for this small bird.

Nice looking bird, the slight open wing position makes it interesting

[Jim Thomas]

Beautiful colors and detail. I'm not liking the cut off ends on perch and I think I'd make the catchlight smaller.

Love the wings out a bit and the great colors. Agree about the perch and definitely see a green cast.

Other than the green cast this is lovely, bg is excellent.
