    Very nice late-evening frame, John. The perch isn't super interesting but is more than redeemed by the flowery background. Ideally they'd be a bit farther back, but they're blurred nicely as is. I would remove the smaller, rear catchlight in the eye and do some
    more NR on the background. All in all a loverly frame. Exposure looks spot-on was well.

    Sweet frame. What lovely light. Personal preference would be to take about a cm off the bottom and add to the top. Great image just as it is. [I'll have to make a note to self: spend some more time at Montezuma next time I'm up that way.]
