    Nice to see, Arsdel. We haven't seen one near our place for over a year.
    Great detail and color. With his head angle and body position, I would have liked to see his image moved to the right side of the frame so that he is not looking out of the picture, if that were possible.

    Nice find Arsdel. Terry has a good suggestion re: comp. Would tone down the bg if mine. It looks like there is a yellow/green cast no doubt due to the proximity of surroundings that we see.

    Good subject, and very sharp as posted! Great view of the crossed mandibles. Light angle is off, and is very harsh too. BG could be toned down, and I would place the bird more to the right of the frame, and loosen the comp to include the clipped part of the perch. I haven't seen this species in a few years at least, so thanks for sharing it!!
