Superb pose. Love the colors and fine detail on this colorful bird. Well done.

Beautiful clarity and detail, that is one stunning looking bird, very well done getting a shot of such high standard.

Cracker looking bird. Detail is excellent and the colours look really well exposed from where I am sitting. Like that the BG compliments the wing colour. If anything the perch could be a little smaller. TFS

With the birds you've been getting in your yard I think I'd be permanently parked there!! Bring a laptop and a bar fridge to your hide and you're all set! Beautiful bird, neat inquisitive pose. Perch a tad large but well weathered and textured. I'm wondering if the BG greens are a tad too "electric neon" or saturated.

Thanks Daniel, due to my work and family responsibilities my back yard accounts for 99% of my photos. I can rarely squeeze any time for travel. Fortunately I do have some really nice yard birds. In essence I am permanently parked there:)
