Looks great among all that green. Nicely snuggled within the leaves as well. Beautiful frame all around - the only thing I would do is "spot remove" the black dot on the leaf, below the tail.
What a wonderful frame!
Love everything about it- clean BG, great colors, perfect HA and singing pose.
No nits from me.
I did not notice the little black spot until Dan mentioned it.

Bill, a bird I badly want in my portfolio. You did this one great justice with the semi-dorsal view and a sweet look back by the subject.
Composition is super nice. Looks like some kind of rose bush?
My only critical comment (perhaps a preferential one?) would be about the color transition from a true/rich blue on the head down to a much more pale, almost cyan color near the tail. Does that represent how you think you viewed it?
Thank you all. I missed that black spot. Brian, the natural coloration of this species shows a darker, richer blue on the head than on the back and tail. Krishna, I agree. You are the only one to mention the sharpening, but I had the same thought when I saw this as posted on BPN; the file on my computer looked noticeably sharper prior to posting. Not the first time this has happened, but I thought I had it licked.
Digging deep. For me, this image could not be any more perfect. The singing pose is mega. The soft light here makes the image.
