The lighting conditions have been pretty poor over here for a few weeks now, so really limited, but I liked the light on this one.

Thanks for looking

I also like the light on this one. I also personally like these kind of backgrounds. Perch is nice, sharpness is good as well. I just wish for a few degrees of head angle toward us.

Like these shots with dark BG Will, certainly makes the bird pop, nice job.

Nice pose, lovely detail and it certainly pops from the background. I always find it difficult to retain detail in the whites on these birds and you have done it well here.

A cute bird with a nice perky pose. Exposure is good and I like how the dark background allows the bird to stand out. When I compose a picture, I always try (sometimes more successfully than others:) ) to figure out what part of the frame is enhancing my subject and what is not. In this case, when I do a browser scroll and eliminate a good chunk of the perch and the bright orange spot, I find the emphasis to be more on the bird. What do you think?

Grace took the words right out of my mouth!
Lovely light, beautiful subject. Just take some off the bottom!

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. Hi Grace, I did try that version and also liked it a lot. I suppose its 'taste'. And, yes, if the bird is tack sharp, then it is worth the crop

Repost much better!

I really like the light, and the lovely bird against the dark background. The repost makes all the difference.

[Grace Scalzo]

I think that the repost is stronger. Thanks for considering my suggestion.
