This is very nice, Morrie! I like the light, colors and BG. Even the rusty parts complement the chest well. The plumage looks a bit oversharpened on my monitor.

Beautiful colors and a very nice composition. I think that it might be just a bit "bright". You might try reducing the exposure and sharpening. Lowering the exposure could make the colors more rich and lessening the sharpening would give a slightly smoother appearance.

Tone down the very contrasty and bright shot and you have a really nice composition. The bird looks good.

What a lovely looking bird. The colors, light, BG and sharpens are terrific. Excellent work!

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful image! I agree it could be toned down a bit. Congratulations on a fine capture :)

I'll echo everyone else's suggestion to tone it down. The only thing that pulls my eye is the white around the screw on the perch. I think a little head turn toward you would make for an even more intimate feeling. Beautiful bird and light.

[Grady Weed]

Agree with the above, tone it down. Bluebirds are one nice birds. You did well here.
