I like it also Dan !!!

Interesting composition The leaf is actually balancing the branch and I like the overall effect Sharpness wise it doesn't look bad at all and I like the look on that little guy !!! Looks like a fun trip !!!

[Gus Cobos]

A nice composition and capture Dan,
I like the colors on your little guy...good show...:cool:

[Nonda Surratt]

Very first thoughts..Oh isn't he pretty. Sharpness looks fine to me, love that eye!

[Christopher Miller]

Very nice composition, Dan. Simple but elegant. Sharpness looks good to me too.
There looks to me to be a greenish cast on the yellow of the bird that you might want to remove. Well done!

[Doug Brown]

Sharpness looks good to me Dan. I love that eye! Wish for a slightly better head angle, but that's about it. Really nice perch too.

Hi Dan - I love it too - another bird that I missed...
Best,
Nicki

[Lance Peters]

Hi Dan - well done - just the afore mentioned HA - good job :)

Dan, Really nice looking image- I see good detail in the bird so I like it!

[Kristin Brown]

Dan,
Nice image and beautiful bird. You have a knack for being at the right place at the right time.
I don't mind the HA too much because the image suggests that the bird is intently focusing on something...like it's next meal.
Very nicely done!

Hi, Dan. Great composition, and the exposure looks right on. Man, do I love the eye on this species! I think the sharpness looks pretty good. I agree that the biggest nit is the head angle but I think it's still a quite successful image.

Cheers,
