Absolutely gorgeous Jim - I totally agree with all the superlatives above...

Ok, Jim -- nice comp! The little plants on the perch (which are in the genus Peperomia in the black pepper family) are a nice touch.

Cheers,

Hi Jim, what a proud pose you have captured here, and I really like how the green iridescence stands out against that BG. I do like your comp too. Well captured.
