the yellow and pink colouration is off the hook Matthew! lovely shot

how about a slight crop from RHS to lose the OOF flowes in top right corner and also place the bird more off-centre?

[Jeff Dyck]

Beautiful light and colours Matthew! It's pretty hard to beat blossoming redbud as a perch when it is in season.

I run out of superlatives on this site.
Just beautiful.

Hi Matthew it's a very nice image.

Matthew:

Excellent techs, sharp, well exposed.

The BG is very flattering.

I like the redbud as an element, in a perfect world, would prefer the tail be more against the bg than the red bud, would be much more distinct.

Good looking image!

Cheers

Matthew, such a beautiful shot of a difficult bird to nail. great colors and details.

[RakeshDhareshwar]

You have nailed this one !! Perfect setting for such a cute looking bird !!

[Pieter de Waal]

Beautiful image Mathew, colours are stunning, agree with Morkel re comp.

[Dan Brown]

A beautiful capture, Matt! All is great but I am thinking that the yellows of the bird are on the harsh side. I see detail, so I'm not saying the yellow is "blown", just harsh? I am used to seeing this species in muted light and yours here is obviously in full sun, so that is probably the reason. Great work none the less!

[Bryan Hix]

Love it as is. The redbud is a great perch for the yellows.
