Just superb! Lighting, pose, background, perch, composition. HA might be better if he was looking slightly your way, but still wonderful. I like the clean BG in this one compared to your May post of the same (?) individual. Was there any post processing?

James, This is a beautiful looking bird. I have never seen one in person. Very nice pose and perch. Sharp and well exposed.

That's a "dream bird" you've got posted. Beautiful bird, wonderful singing, great colors and composition. I guess I'm going to have to hate you for this one:)

[Jan Wegener]

simply stunning.

The only thing that would improve the image even further is a slight head turn

Beautiful bird, well-exposed image; I'd like more eye contact but would be highly satisfied with a shot this good!

Killer subject, colors and bg. The singing is a huge bonus. Well done.
