Hi Jose,
I like the composition and capture...the colorful perch compliments your subject quite well, you have a good head angle, with sharp details and definition in the feathers...my recommendation would be to tone down the warm spots on the breast in the whites and yellow hues...good show...:cool:

Hi Jose

Sure wish you had the sun angle for this beauty !!! You did well with the harsh light but tough dealing with the shaded side !!!

[Lance Peters]

Hi Jose - Harsh light makes it difficult - like the pose and the composition. Softer light or some fill flash might help.
Keep them coming :)

[Ilija Dukovski]

As above about the light etc. but I really like the composition.
Keeping so much of the plant and positioning of the bird so high
is, I think, a bit out of the box but it works well for me in this image.

Cheers,

Love the head position and perch. Noticed what appears to be a small halo around the head area?
