    Love the colors in this. The stacked comp of berries and bird goes very well with the color of the BG. Super sharpness too. Well done.

    Really love the colors you have going on here and agree with the above comments about the berries and background - just killer.

    All the colors go very well together. Although I have never seen one of these birds live, I really love their coloration. Did you consider using fill flash for the shadows?

    Jon, it is really getting better and better. You composed this very nicely. Your feeder set up and blind pay off for sure. Nice colors and great BG. Congratulations.

    Very nicely done. I really like the bird's pose and placement between the berry clusters. Dave

    Nicely framed, and I like the detail and colours on the head. Killer BG too.

    This is a very sweet image, with that little guy perched among the berries. Nice job with the DOF, keeping all the berries in focus.

    Bryan - same old story, when I remember to consider fill in flash the birds don't arrive, when I forget they do! I have tried and it does make a real difference, I usually place the gun on a tripod outside the hide pointing at the subject - right I will try it today!!

    Even without fill flash this ROCKS Jon. Love the setting and the pose. Outstanding job!

    Very nice! The vertical presentation works really well. Berries slightly compete with the bird but still a lovely shot.
