    Hi Eddy. I like the basic composition here, but I would be tempted to crop all around and make the bird a little larger in the frame. Good sharpness, and the BG is nice. Light does seem a bit harsh, but you've handled that pretty well. Thanks for posting.

    Totally agree with Doug, I really love the bird on this background, it really stands out.

    Eduardo I fully support the comments about cropping this image. This beautiful bird and nice background need to be appreciated in a close-up.

    Hi Eddy- I am very impressed with the original image. The blue and green, as mentioned by others, goes so well together here. I actually liked the loose crop of the original but agree that it could be tightened up a little. I don't think you have the detail in the image to crop tight. If you don't mind, I tried a compromise crop (Quickmasked out some lower branches while I was there).
