    Nice perch, Jim.

    Love the view of his beautiful back. It looks like velvet.

    A postcard, very nice. Maybe a bit more room at the top, but just quibbling, about perfect in my opinion.

    Excellent shot. Lovley perch, the sharpness on the bird is superb, and the pose is wonderful. Very well done.

    Jim:

    Very well constructed image, with beautiful perch, attractive bird, good pose, neutral background.

    I like that the left flower isn't cut off at the bottom.

    I might try the slightest upward adjustment in the blacks on the shoulder area to reveal a tiny bit more detail, but excellent as is.

    Cheers

    Jim, this is a lovely composition. I might give it a little more room at the top. These are such pretty birds, and you handled the exposure very well. That orange is dazzling!

    It is just one of those images where everything is VWD. I cant add anything to the comments.

    Jim, stunning indeed. you've handled the blacks, oranges and whites so well....loved the deep blacks here. Wonderful image design.

    I think a little room below will help...that flower is too close to that edge, I feel. And then may be some more room on top to balance.
