Zethar:

Very nice colors here. Well exposed.
The head doesn't look quite as sharp as the leaves to the left of the birds bill.
From a comp standpoint, I would be interested to see a vertical version, cropping in from the right to the edge of shadows on the perch, and from the left just to the left of the top cluster of leaves.
Head appears to be just slightly away from us.

Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Cheers

I like the perch, angle and composition and wish the bird's head were parallel to the sensor.

I wish for a little better head angle and a more evenly colored background. Beautiful bird and nicely captured!
