Sweet looking little Towhee. Perch is beautiful, as is the pose. I almost wish the oof flowers weren't there, since they overpower the bird. Did you consider toning them down a bit? Bird and perch just slightly oversharpened.
Very nice pose, great perch. Techs and details look spot on (although I wish the image was posted larger to better view those details). I like the idea of the oof flowers in the bg but I too think there just may be too much of them. Great colours on them though!
I think the flowers and those amazing colours made me want to look again and again at this beautiful image, wish the OOF ones would be a tad more subtle but I am absolutely smitten with the little bird, what a lovely capture Rick, thank you for sharing this, just lovely!
