    Wonderful image of this singing beauty. I love the pose and interesting perch. Good colours and details. Just to clean up the edges I would remove the stray twig at bottom left and the oof one in the extreme bottom right corner.

    Ian:

    Agree with the folks above, excellent pose, good angle in frame, yellows well exposed, sharp.

    Cheers

    Beautiful bird in a nice pose. Well exposed. Perch is a little complex, but natural. Nicely captured.
