Love the sharpness and the flower and the perfect EXP. In fact, love almost everything about it. I saw dozens of these on my SUV Songbird Road Trip (see the blog at www.birdsasart-blog.com) for the whole story) without getting one decent image; they are tough.
I do believe that a small crop from the left strengthens this immeasurably.

Beautiful image w/ great sharpness and an interesting looking perch-I like the crop from the left also.
Hi Scott,
Killer image - actually I prefer the original crop. That is one great looking perch...
Best,
Nicki
Wonderful image, you show off the blue around the eye nicely not to mention the great perch.

Great perch, eye contact and good angle. I like the idea of a slight crop off the left.
Beautiful bird and perch, great job in the exposure and very sharp. Well done.
Scott, great image. I love the exposure, the sharpness, and the sense of habitat from the Saguaro perch. If you chose to crop, I do like Arthur's suggestion.
Cheers,
Greg Basco
Great comp, with the perfect pose Scott. I like the light, exposure and what a wonderful perch.
Wonderful image Scott. Excellent sharpness and exposure. Either crop works for me.
