    Frank:

    Quite the technicolor image, both bird and background. Bird is sharp and well exposed, with perhaps a hint of noise showing in some of the darker areas.

    The perch with the torn bark is a bit distracting. Nice catchlight.

    Cheers

    Details and colors of the bird are amazing! The BG is interesting and sure works well with your KF. Perch isn't perfect but nature rarely is.

    Beautiful! I have an urge to crop from the left to just get rid of the brightest orange band and the most OOF parts of the perch.

    For me, the pose isn't cramped by a squarish crop.
