Beautiful pose, setting, stare, and soft light plus excellent use of flash. You might want to lose the stragglies on the right side of the frame.

The eye contact/stare make this for me. Just some minor work , as mentioned by Artie and this is one beautiful image.

nice eye contact and pose Sid!

Hi SId,

Very nice. The direct stare really grabs and holds my attention. Good exposure and details. I also think the perch adds a lot of interest to the image. I like Artie's suggestion of removing the few bits of vines(?) projecting into the edge of the frame about a third of the away down on the right (our right). Well done and thanks for sharing.

I agree with the comments above and would also eliminate the beige leaf just underneath the perch at bottom left...it looks too much like a thumb sticking in! I love the OOG mosses in the BG, and of course the straight-on stare. Cool image!!:cool:

[Stu Bowie]

Good eye contact, and I like the overall colours in this.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Really a stunning image Sid. Love the composition and the excellent eye contact. A real beauty !!!!!

Sid, Excellent details and composition. I love this one. I agree w/ Artie regarding the straggles-but that is extremely minor. Well done.

[James Salywoda]

Great composition Sid very nicely captured.
