Hi Rich, great HA captured here, and I like how he is framed on the perch. I do like the colours in the BG, and only wish the distant OOF part of the perch was not there.

Great little bird on a very nice perch. I like the colourful BG. Have you put a texture over it? I might consider lightening under the downward facing branch just a little.

Thanks for the comments Glennie and Stu. Appreciate it! Glennie, I did nothing to the BG other than increase the vibrancy a bit (...should have probably done a bit of noise reduction but was a little lazy). All the best!
