Elegant pose and light for the little guy !!!! Very appealing image Do like the selected crop Might evict a couple of the sticks at bottom Maybe the last to the right and the one between the perch and V to the left? Either way it is one good looking image !!!!

I really like the pose,wing position and the colors of this beautiful bird!

Wing position and catchlight makes this one a winner! Well done!
