Hi jeff - lovely sharp details and a nice inquisitive pose, great colours and a complimentarty BG.- like it.

Somehow the crop just isn't working for me - think it is the diagonal line of the perch - leading my eye straight out of the frame.
Keep em coming.

Hi Jeff I was thinking on the same lines, it is a odd crop. Not sure how thick was the perch to have included the tail? Image looks good and so does the PS work !!!

This is a typical case you want to go to either extreme ... show more or crop tighter !!!

Jeff, Details are very good as is the pose. Like the nice clear eye and your clean BG. I see Lance's point w/ the crop. All in all-Nicely done.

Very nice, Jeff. Good pose with eye contact. Like the soft BG. The crop doesn't look too bad to me, though I think Lance does have a good point about the perch.

Hi Jeff, a very fine capture indeed...I see the crop, which is a bit unconventional...:cool:
