Such a nice view of this little beauty. The sharpness is quite good as is the depth of field. Beautiful.

Darren, great image of this small beautiful bird! Exposure and sharpness are spot on, as is the pose. I also like the thin perch. I might work on the BG a bit more as some of the patterns are mildly distracting (such as the upward curve at tip of bill). Still a very nice image that you should be very happy with :-)

HA, pose , color, detail of bird looks great. Ideal perch Agree w above would clean up bg a little but that is minor.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Wonderful image Darren. In additions to Danie's suggestion, I would also tidy up the LRC. Well done. :)

[Ben Egbert]

Love it, I would never have noticed the other comments but now that they are made, I agree, but really nice image.

I like the softer light in this, and showing great detail too. Great catchlight, and agree touching up the BG will work. Well captured.

Darren, you've done an admirable job in getting rid of that branch and leaf clump. It should be a snap to even out that curled leaf edge at bill tip.

[DarrenMcKenna]

I did think about that very issue, but I didn't want to over do it so I stopped were I did. Perhaps I will continue on with it another day.

[Matt Vosniak]

This is very nice Darren. Your PS work isn't noticeable at all to me. I also like that you captured the little haze of greenish/yellow these guys have in their feathers.
