Jim,
This image has a lot to offer.
It has a beautiful subject displaying an interesting behavior. There is eye contact between the viewer and your subject. The image is exposed well (especially for a high key) and nice and sharp.
It is also composed well with the subject located in the right of the frame, body facing towards the negative space.
IMO a little off the top would make this image even stronger.
Jim; IMO pretty close to a perfect image. A beautiful bird, a nice colorful insect, phenomenal feather detail, perfect DOF, a nice perch, excellent exposure and lighting. I agree, a little off the top . Well done. regards~Bill
Jim, those blues really pop against the high key BG, and you have captured the perfect pose. The sharpening looks fine, although around the eye, is borderline getting 'crispy'. I like the texture of the perch, and how it curves across the frame.
