I love the background and the pose and the image design. The colors of the bird look a little muddy ...

with love, artie

Quite nice in the high key. The out of focus vegetation in the background gives some more depth.

I love the composition here, and yes that BG vegetation adds a lot in a good way. I love the little burst of moss on the perch near the tail.
