    Nice image. The bird stands out well against the dark background. For my taste the perch is a little dominating and I think the bird lacks a little detail.

    Nice pose and soft light, Richard. There is some green spill from the BG blur onto the underside of the perch so a little mask fine tuning would help. There also seems to be some sharpening artifacts around the bird and perch and noisy areas in the BG.

    Great bird, pose, and I like the sumac perch. I also see the sharpening halos around the bird.
