Sweet colors in this one Freddy. I also like the diagonal comp cutting from corner to corner.

Great light, details and complementing BG. I might decrease the contrast a few points for more details in the blacks.

[Bonnie Block]

Nicely done, Freddy! Great bg and lovely warm colors. I do agree it would be nice if you could get a little more detail from the blacks.

[Sid Overbey]

Beautiful shot. I like everything about this one. Nice bg and great composition.

Very nice Freddy. Love your perches. Agree with Axel about pulling a little more detail out of the blacks.

[Grace Scalzo]

Fred, This might be my favorite background ... love the touches of green. The eye on this bird is really nice, too, with that visible pupil. Great work.

Waow, sharp take with excellent details & beautiful bokeh to go with. Such lovely light, I just wish the head was turned a little towards u so that the same light cud fall on it.

[Blake Shadle]

Love the pose and detail, Freddy. Nice background and the colors are great. Considering the pose, I'd like to see this fella' higher in the frame (more space below than on top).

Nicely done. I like the contrast here. And the bg and perch only add to the image.

Gorgeous Freddy as usual. I have been away so please excuse the belated comments. Great BG and excellent color and detail. A winner for me.
