Perfect timing. Image feels just a touch dark and over saturated. More detail could be pulled from the lower part of the wings by the body. What is the dark spot at the top of the wing?

I'll try pulling the details some more. I did white and black point curve. No saturation added. That's the tip of the feather that the male has. :) thank you.

The diagonal line of the wings certainly adds to the composition. Believe it might look better cropping out some more of the limb at the bottom. Very nice image.

I like the composition as presented and would just lift the shadows a touch. Great shot!

Richard, thanks. I will post one with less perch.
