Love the pose, sharp where it needs to be, the varied but soft BG and the perch (dead stick with peeling bark). What a colorful beauty and I even love the soft touch of complimentary blue on the left (some may not). TFS

Looks great Chris! Pose is great and I think completely forgives a perch that otherwise would be slightly higher than optimal. Details look great and the color is perfect. I will catch up with this species one day!

Beautiful image, love the pose, just the tiniest bit over saturated for me.

Very pretty frame in beautiful light. Love the spread wings and calling pose. I do wish the rear wing was more in focus but when the bird is not more parallel to the back of the camera there is nothing you could do about that. If you do not mind cloning, then I would remove the peeling bark that is running parallel to the right side of the birds tail.

Beautiful Chris, I thing the open wing pose is superb. Sharp where it matters for me - another winning frame

wonderful Chris, I too vote for removing the shaggy peeling bark. Open wing, open beak works here, lovely BG.

Hi Chris, beautiful bird, nicely shown. I like the singing pose, perfect background and the perch because it is natural and not a setup. Thank you for sharing.

I love the split tip of the [perch, but it was unfortunate a piece of bark was peeling off in the wrong spot. Great looking bird set against a good BG. I do wish both wings were equally lit. I notice the updated avatar as well!
