Hi Daniel.
I love that pose and eye contact! . Colors are wonderful , and the bird is sharp enough. A pitty all those branches ...

[Alfred Forns]

Sweet image Dan Lots of feel and plainly elegant Would just do a different crop and cleaning the branches to the left is personal preference !!!

Hi Dan,
You captured the essence of this little guy...I like the capture in it's natural habitat...Mr. Forns' repost puts it over the top...good show...looking forward to more...:cool:

Hi, Dan. You know I love these kinds of images, which to my mind are a different kind of portrait. I like Alfred's crop suggestion for this one. Nice job!

Cheers,
