Catalina:

Nice and colorful, with delicate curved perch. Because of that long tail, would like a sliver more room top and bottom, as he feels a bit crowded vertically.

Wish the head was turned back towards us a bit, makes the images more engaging.

Might try to lighten the shadow on the medial aspect of the iris.

Cheers

Randy

Colorful bird and pleasing colors and calling pose. I am finding the bird's tail a little tight in the frame.
