another super bird in your series Freddy....wish you could have been a bit lower or able to get better bg isolation(minor nit)

strange bg.....rocks?
You have really been doing well with that 600 :)

You did well with the bird here Freddy! I have mixed feelings about the BG. On the one hand, I like the way the moss parallels the bird's back. On the other hand, the green of the moss really draws my eye away from the bird. Also, there is a visible line coursing over the top of the bird and in front of it from mid-breast to the right of the frame where it looks like you blurred the BG. It's tough when the BG is close to the subject!

Very nice, Freddy. a bird I have never seen. I agree with the previous comments --but really a very pleasing image.
I like the richness of the colors.
