Thanks For Looking

Thanks for posting, Jim! I like the habitat this image provides, just wish it didn't intersect with the tail. Love the eye contact and pose. Handsome little guy!

[Juan Aragonés]

I like the perch and the BG a lot and, of course, the matching colors of the bird, perch and BG. Composition works very well for me :-)

Beauty James Bhai.. the perch really gives a great touch to this frame..

[Tony Whitehead]

I like the simplicity of the limited colour palette and the contrast in textures between the rough twigs and the soft plumage set off against the smooth BG.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Saw a few of these in AZ , but got nothing even close to this beautiful image. Love the mood the grey BG gives this image.

[Ilija Dukovski]

Lovely, I like the BW feel here. The perch is as complicated as
it can get but the pattern is nicely uniform to add to the composition nicely.

Jim, Beautiful complimentary colors for the BG, bird and perch. It has a monochromatic look which is very appealing. :)

[Lorant Voros]

Fantastic work. Love the composition with all the matching colors. James, I love seeing your photos lately, but this is over the top. Very well done. Big congratulations.
