    Beautiful bird, BG and perch. I would give it a bit more space at the right and get rid of the OOF streaks at the bottom.

    Really nice. I like the comp. But would definitely clone out the OOF branch in the bottom of the frame and might also consider cloning the branch reaching out of the frame to the left so that it ends within the frame? Really nice shot!

    A very beautiful image. The colours are amazing in that bird. Good composition, nicely exposed and a pleasing BG.

    A very beautiful portrait of this fine bird. Nice comp and background; I agree with the cloning comments.

    Excellent exposure, and you have shown the colours perfectly. Well done.

    Like the diagonal line of the branch, nice bg. What is that at the bottom of the image, almost looks like a branch has been cloned out and evidence left of the cloning?

    Keith,
    No cloning was done. The object you're referring to must be some out of focus background item.
