Lovely sharp capture Arsdel. Even though the perch is busy and you can't see the bird's feet I like.

Very nice image Arsdel. Great feather detail and good head position (I think - still learning the "head police" policies) As mentioned the perch is a little busy, but I like the multi-colored background. It doesn't distract from the bird, but gives some additional interest to the photo.

Rich. You are sentenced to one hour of study in the Educational Gallery to study the Head Angle Police Thread. This is not a good head angle; the bird is turned slightly away from the plane of the imaging sensor. With this pose, best would be the bird facing somewhat towards the photographer. Good light angle and sharpness; I agree with the other comments above.

later and love, artie
