I love photographing these guys - such charismatic little birds.
Thanks for looking, Greg.

Beautiful portrait, great details and sharpness.

Cute bird and great capture. I find the foliage in the bottom right a little distracting IMO. But other than that really like this. Thanks Greg!

[David Salem]

I actually like how this little guy is framed by the foliage. Good looking pose, details, techs and the varied BG sets this one off nicely. Well done Greg.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, perch, exposure, flash work and BG. Looks like a hair at his left foot or spider web. I could tell this image was yours just from the thumbnail. Very well done Greg.

Beauty shot, Greg. Unconventional composition but it works. Beautiful bird, setting and background.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Absolutely gorgeous, love the setting and the lighting - a very striking image.

[Martin Dunn]

Another top photo Greg. All the elements work well together.
Keep 'em coming.

[Girish Prahalad]

like the size of the bird in the frame. the setting, pose & colors are excellent.

[Daniel Cadieux]

This is one fine example of when to center your subject...awesome comp made well balanced by the surrounding elements.

This is really a kick butt image, and ditto Jim on knowing it was yours just from the thumbnail. The colors are out of this world, and love the environmental feel. Terrific use of flash.
