    Ooh, very nice!! I love the overall feel of the image. Great perch and the surrounding habitat is fantastic. BG looks super too. If anything I'd remove the small darker spot touching the subject's lower back, but all-in-all this is highly appealing.

    I too like this one. Nice pose and I really like the perch. Nice BG also. The exposure and detail look great too. Well done

    Hi William, love the habitat/environment and a nice pose to boot! Agree with Dan about the small black spot, but also the head (black area) looks lightened, it's generally quite a rich jet black? Good detail in the plumage and I like the side profile POV. Was this close by as these could provide more photo opportunities.

    Cracker shot William. I too agree with Daniel, the image does indeed have a wonderful overall feel. Love to see another frame from this session. Regards, Ian.

    What a pleasing portrait you have here. Love the habitat, perch and BG. The touches of vegetation are very special. My favorite touch is the bird's raised "toe."

    What a beauty. The thumbnail didn't do this justice. Lovely bird (that I hope to photograph some day), in wonderful habitat and perch. Very handsomely done.

    I like the image design and agree with all the positives above. However, not only does the cap look over-lightened the whole bird seems a bit funky to me, lacking in fine feather detail...... Good job with the overhead sun.
