I like the soft light, setting and pose. I would give it more room at the bottom and selectively sharpen the head more.

nice looking bird with beautiful colors,i would prefer a bit more head turn

Gayle, lovely pose, and nicely framed between the two sets of leaves. I would add a bit to the bottom.

Thanks, everyone. I too wish the head were turned a bit more. Axel, thanks, I will sharpen the head a bit more. I forgot to mention that this was full frame with only a small crop on the left. To add at the bottom I'll have to do a bit of cloning.
