Lovley image, and I like that you chose horizontal in this case b/c I think seeing more of the perch in vertical may have hurt the image. The hint of green in the BG is nice as is the pose. I am curious as to why you are using such a low ISO. If the bird had flown, you would probably not have been able to acquire a sharp image.
Nice pose and background. The bird has some magenta cast on.
very nice topside view and a beautiful BG. I think this works better in a portrait presentation. It could also use more sharpening. Marina is spot on, by using a very low ISO your shutter speed is marginal which results in border line sharpness.

Hi,
Thanks to all for your comments. This time I did not worry about shutter speed in case the bird would have flown because I was too close to the bird to take a picture of him flying.
