I posted one of these guys a little while back. Not the same bird, but taken in the same nature reserve, close to my house.

Nice looking bird Stuart. I like the bg with the varied and soft colours; it seems to work well for me with the bird. I like the composition, and the placement of the bird seems natural; I just wonder if having the bird on the left side would add anything.

I like the composition as is. nice diagonal perch, pleasing BG.

Stuart, I remember your other post. This is a nice composition also. Details look good and I like the HA. Beautiful BG colors.

[Gal Shon]

I like this one, light, perch, Comp and BG.
A slight less head turn would be better.

[Simon Bennett]

I like the diagonal perch amd pose with good eye contact. Nice background too.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Great BG Stu. Love the diagonally ascending perch as well. I think the bird is perfectly positioned with a perfect HA.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Love the perch, comp, light and sepecies. Lovely colors detail and BG too.
Congratulaitons!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Nice BG, sharpness and perch. I would give it more room at the right so that the perch does not come out of the corner. I would tone down the perch and whites of the bird.

[Dave Barnes]

The comp works well Stu. I may be tempted to take a bit off the bottom? Ditto tonoing down the whites.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. Much appreciated.
