You certainly have a wealth of birds to work with.....and do an excellent job of settings, perches, and BGs. I especially like the complementary colors of the BG and the bird. If I had one wish, it would be for a little turn of the head for some eye contact. Well done.

Very nice, Ray. Makes we wish I had been there.....

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, complementing BG and portrait.

Your one fortunate photographer! Keep these jewels coming. Love this full frame version here. sharp, clean, like you are asking us to step right in the frame. My favorite types of images.
