Great perch, soft light, details and pose. I would give it more room as the bird is a bit too much in the corner for my taste.

Hi Jon...I agree with Axel on all points...The perch is wonderful in this image. It's color matched beautifully with the bird. Well done!!

[Steve Maxson]

Wonderful colors and light, Jonathan. I like the pose with the bird looking back into the frame. I also like the bird right where it is in the corner (different strokes, you know). You might crop a bit from the bottom and right. Well done.

One terrific shot you've got here! Outstanding perch, great detail and light, as well as comp and colors! Congratulations!

Nice perch and pose, good feather detail too, cracking little birds to photograph.

Nice work Jon.

Love it in the way you posted. I wouldn´t touch a single pixel on this image except :D... to raise a bit the saturation of the blue crown of the bird. Very good job :)

[Jonathan Michael Ashton]

Thank you everyone.... next time I will keep an eye on the selective saturation!
