Love the pose. colors sharpness. only thing that i can see here is the end of its tail feathers seems odd , that little bit sticking out, its just a matter of taste i guess but i would clone it out. Well Captured :)
I have corrected the tail feathers, and done a little cropping...Hope this works better...:)
Thank you for the critique! This is what I like, the most, on BPN! The chance to get help and guidance, to make better photos. Thank you very much, to all of you!
The crop is much improved on the repost. With the diffused light angle coming from front-left some fill-flash would have been the perfect tonic to open up the colours and rid the shadow on this side of the bird. Also would have given the eye alot more punch and life. Excellent perch and uncluttered BG!
