Hi Jim,

Nice detail in the darks and I really like the way the iridescence comes out on the blues.
Perhaps you could back off a notch on the sharpening as I do find the back and upper wing a little bit crunchy.

Great to see this little beauty, for my first time!

Regards, Gerald

Beautiful bird, well imaged. I love the light , warm and rich. Agree, maybe a bit less sharpening.

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. Gerald and Grace I will redo the the image with the sharpness backed off a bit, thanks.

Stunning image Jim. The colours throughout are awesome. I love the lighting, and details on the bird and perch with a killer BG. Nice work
