thx for looking
Very nice! A bit plain as an image...bur certainly not a plain subject :-) Could the base of the bill be toned down a bit, or is this the way it looks like?
Wicked bird and bill. A linear burn on the base of the bill would likely help. The perch is too large for this species...

I love this species! Great shot and comp, I would've used fill flash to avoid the shadows from the no ideal light angle. Still, love it! Congratualitons!
Very good shot and the composition too is very beautiful.
I really like the composition and the eye contact!

I do not understand this comment (and I've seen it a couple of times now). I'm guessing you mean set up thinner branches when expecting to photograph smaller species, but cannot think why the size of the perch is a problem. Could you explain it to me?
Thanks
John
