Excellent image. Very nice pose and you placed him very nicely in the frame.
Beautiful perch with colors complimenting to his colors.Green on perch have balanced the colors very nice in the frame.
Superb BG and composition.

Regards,
Satish.

I like the perch and the BG. I might be tempted to increase sat a bit. I like the head turn but at the same time wish for no merge between the beak and plumage

I like the composition and the detail in the legs is excellent.
The pose is good for me, the shutter speed I suspect is just on the borderline though I acknowledge the light could have been a little better for you. A very pleasing image.

What a great perch you have here. I am with Arash on increasing the SAT just a tad, esp on the green algae in the perch.

Hi Chris, I do like the look back pose, and what lovely soft light you had here. I dont mind your comp as is, but would try a version by taking some off the RHS.

Another nice frame of this bird. The detail in this one looks really good and the exposure is perfect. I agree about a little Sat boost. Nice work Chris.
