Another image of the same bird from a couple of days ago on a different perch. Thanks for looking, Greg.

Hi Greg. I tried with these birds when I stayed in Perth WA they really are nice. Your image looks great to me perch and BG set the bird off beautifully.

I like this one better than #1.
The lichens on the perch match the bird perfectly.
The complimentary BG and singing pose take this one up a notch.
I also really like the comp you have chosen,
Gail

Greg, great looking picture. The BG matches the bird.

Love the colors here: the bi-colored BG with the yellow-green matching the bird, and the complimentary perch. Good singing pose, and nice comp. Very nicely done.

This is beautifully done. Perfect BG and perch for the bird. I'd probably clone out the other branch, but it hasn't seemed to bother anyone else so that probably means it's just me.

Gorgous, Greg. Rich colors, interesting perch and great calling pose on the bird.

I think that the second branch adds as it improves the balance.... Love the bird, the image, and the BKGR. I'd cut back a bit on your sharpening for web as this one also looks a tiny bit crispy....
