    Very Nicely done. Like the flowers and clean background.

    Was this taken with Photo Blind (Set up) or from car ?

    Glad you like it Krishna!

    No blind here, just audio. This male and his companion let me hang in their world and they danced upon multiple perches for me. A great morning.

    Brian:

    Very fun pose, beautiful bird, the tan/orange toned background plays well against the blues, like the catchlight and the small amount of yellow flowers.

    A natural pose for a tall and slim vertical comp!

    Cheers

    Sweet frame. Very good IQ. You captured the right moment with the head lifted like that. The background look excellent as does the composition.

    Love the title and the pose of course. Nice framing. Gorgeous colors on the bird. The mullein perch is nice.

    The colors look fine to me. Too bad the bird did not give you a really cool pose. Not!
