    Greg,
    Excellent image of beautiful bird with lovely iridescent colors, very nicely composed between yellow flowers and leaves of the perch.
    Love the pose, lights,IQ and composition.

    Regards,

    I like the perch and the environment. The BG looks good. IQ on bird looks good. Nice job.

    I'm guessing he perched right where you wanted him. Couldn't have been better, setup or no. Terrific perch, comp, colors.

    Looks like a mutant Tree Swallow/flycatcher!! Beautifully designed image, I like everything about it...I would only darken the pupil a bit (or rid the bluish "haze" on it).

    P.S. I love your new avatar!!

  9. Thanks Greg Oakley thanked for this post
