    What beautiful plumage, look at all the shades of blue and purple that you were able to capture. Perfect EXP, great head angle and placement in the frame.

    Amazing for 1/30 th sec. Good body alignment and sharp throughout as far as I can tell. Only nit is that the perch is light and not saturated especially on the right ,but thats really reaching to find something to say.
    Question ? How did you decide on -3 setting for flash ?
    Love the colors.

    Thanks for the answer-couldnt figure out a - 3 setting to get that picture.
    Also explains smooth well lit appearance. Makes sense now after I reread it.

    Excellent exposure on the colours, and great flashwork to achieve it. Lovely detail, and I like the perch. Great image Glenn.
