    Beautiful bird in a very nice setting and comp.
    The only thing that catches my eye a little,is the lower upside leaf.
    But that's just a minor detail.

    Don:

    Nice pose, sharpness,HA. Nice flashwork to bring up the color.

    I agree with Thomas about the leaf, and might try to burn it in, as well as the bright stem and stick by the tail.
    That will focus more attention on the bird IMO.

    beautiful shot. Nice colors and beautiful green background. I like the head angle. I agree with the others about the leaf.

    Good looking bird Don. The vine and leaves appear as a bit of a nuisance and are a personal preference. Very nice pose. Dave

    Great posture and head angle! Exposure good as well. I find the light coloured leaf a bit too bright, but this is a minor point.
