You are the "Alan Murphy" of Down Under!
Beautiful setup, great BG and IQ. You have made a plain bird look beautiful.
If I was to be super picky I would clone out the leaves coming up from the bottom of the frame and the skinny naked branch on the RHS

Very nice setup, look-back pose, techs. That blue eye is quite something. I'd probably remove the small cluster of leaves at center bottom edge, and try a version with a slightly warmer WB. Awesome stuff man!

This is great, Greg.

Gail you should see the next one of Greg's.
The same thought came to my mind looking at the one he posted on NSN.

Greg,
Loverly bird, perch, BKGR, along with the perfect look back head angle for the over the shoulder pose. Is this in fact a set-up?

The bird is so nicely framed by the foliage - which is your signature style. Overall seems a tad on the cooler side. Adding a warming filter will be an improvement I feel.
Your setups are inspiring!

Really nice Greg. Beautiful bird, pleasing composition.

Hi Greg,
wonderful composition. Love the bird and perch. The lookback pose is super. Eye contact, too. Well done.
