    Marc:

    Nice job on the exposure, holding the red channel. Sharp,good sized perch, like the grip showing.
    Pretty good isolation of subject in a busy background. Might have been worth a few shots at a larger aperture to reduce your DOF a bit. As is, might consider toning down the lighter stems/reeds behind the bird and perch.

    What a colorful guy.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Good exposure control, sharpness and head angle. It would be even stronger if the the BG were all greenish.
