    Sweet image, Michael. One of my goals this spring is to get a nice PG image. So far they have been elusive in my neck of the woods.

    Apart from the brightest part of the background between the legs and the hot streak on the right leg I really like this photo alot. Neat pose, great colors, and very cool perch!

    This is a beauty. The color and pose are excellent. Do clone that one bright spot in the leg as mentioned.

    Just beautiful. I didn't read the suggestions yet, but scrolling between the two I can't tell the difference. Stay tuned. . .

    Ok, now that I've read the other replies I do see it. I wish there were a way to easily display the reposts side by side with the original.

    Killer image, Michael. The repost is outstanding. Making the suggested corrections put this image over the top.

    I like the symmetry in the open wings and of course the multitude of colours makes this very viewable indeed.
