    What's not to like here!
    Great crop, details with a nice perch and complimentary BG.
    The catchlight is perfectly dead center-nice.
    I feel like the exposure overall could go a up slightly even though you have lots of details in the blacks.
    Would like to have this in my files!

    Hello Kurt,

    gilded lily, gilded flicker, hmmmmh... flicker by a landslide! IQ is stunning, you have covered the bases here. Lovely perch, BG, and sharpness, love the hint of the yellow inside tail feathers. If it were mine a suggestion would be to lasso that lil bit of dried poo near top foot... Or whatever it is... Excellent.

    Hi Kurt, I'm with Gail, what not to like here. Good feather detail and colors on the bird, perfect perch, pure background. Thank you for sharing.
