    Sharp, good exposure, nicce pose and head position. And I like the bug. Barring a more attractive perch I would have panned down just a bit to just below the second concentric ring...

    Very cool bird. If you could only have gotten a nicer perch for him.

    This is a very nice portrait Arthur, (another new species for me). The lovely warm tones of the bird are complimented nicely by the light green BG. Agree with Art re the perch.

    I haven't seen this species before. Thanks for sharing. I agree with the other comments and would add that the BG looks a bit noisy.
