    Love the perch and sharp detail, super BG. And a big thumbs up for getting so close with a 200mm even with a blind:)

    Great detail and BG. An interesting perch, adds to the image. Beautiful colors on the bird.

    Great species, nice BG, HT and sharpness. I would have liked to have seen this with another perch as to my eye this perch is a bit big for this birdspecies. Thanks for showing

    This is one beautiful bird Ovidiu. The image is tack sharp and that is a great perch. It certainly adds a nice element. Well done all around.

    It is a very nice little bird. I like the pose and the background - even the perch works for me because of the way he is gripping it. But, I find that the feather detail is somewhat over sharpened for my taste - it makes a soft little bird look spiky and metallic, in my opinion.

    Stunning subject, very well done. All I might do is add a little space behind the bird, as the tail is quite close to the edge. TFS, hope to see this spp. one day.
