This Male blended in nicely on the dead Fern/Bracken, taken on my local patch.

I agree with you...the color palette is perfect. Bird, background and perch all match. My eye keeps drifting to the out of focus stuff though. If the bird is a regular here, maybe prune that back?

Agree about the oof bit ,but that apart, bird, Bg ,all blend beautifully, very nice indeed.

Love the colors! What a well coordinated scene from a color perspective. The ferns are very cool and different as far as perches go. Image is well designed. I dig that the feet are not covered up by anything. Nice little relaxed inquisitive look on the bird.

Lovely pose. I like the BG colors and sharpness on the bird. I agree with the OOF leaves on the FG.

I like the sharpness, details, perch, composition and complimentary BG. OOF FG mentioned. Nice image Joe.
