Gorgeous colors and detail Jonathan. Awesome Shot!

[DanWalters]

Great colors and detail! Like that clean background as well.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Beautiful BG, neat perch, and good colours. HA would have been better if not looking away from us. I'd also eliminate the lower (smaller) of the two catchlights.

[Craig Brelsford]

Agree with Daniel on the HA and catchlight. The colors are indeed rich, and you've done about as well as can be expected with the dilemma of the black and white head. I like the lichen-y perch.

[Pieter de Waal]

Beautiful image with super colours and sharpness Jonathan. Lovely background with complimentary colours.

[Josée Normandeau]

Killer background, beautiful perch.

And yes, the bird is gorgeous too...
