Lovely perch. I like the eye contact. The background is well diffused. The composition works for me. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Another lovely one. Sharp, well exposed, nice pose, very interesting perch, smooth background.

I might be tempted to crop in a bit from the right, but it is very nice as is.

Cheers

Ofer, super pose, and I like the light, detail and colours. Overall sharp, and I agree maybe a little off the right will work.

[Lorant Voros]

Beautiful shot with it's light, colors, sharpness, BG and I just love that perch too. Agree with taking off a bit from the right. Very well done.

Looks like you did very well in Israel! Would have liked to spend some time with you, but I had a great time with my daughter doing the touristy stuff. Lovely image!

Lovely shot, with great light, perch, BG, and detail, colors and species are also great. IMO the pose doesn´t really help mucho. But I like it though. Congratulaitons!
