Hi GAry,

Very nice looking bird and clean background. Well exposed too. Your light angle is off a bit and wish he would have turned a bit more towards you.

Like the shot a lot. The comp and the colors are very nice and the details are good.

If you Quick mask the branch and tone down the burning highlights it would improve the image a lot. While you are at it you could tone down the birds back and head too.

Thanks for posting.

Lovely details on the bird.
The non-green background near the bottom of the frame is quite a distraction but i guess u cud'nt hav don much about it...

Great find and details. I agree that the darker part of the BG is a bit distracting and also wish for more head turn.

I was as interested in capturing this species as the composition.
