    Beautiful subject on a fantastic BG. Perch is perfect as well. Might take a bit off the right side as I find a bit too much negative space.

    Hi Leo,

    A lovely image, and I fully agree with Joe's comments.

    Sweet shot. Beautiful detail, perch and BG. Ditto Joe's comment about the negative space, but only a tiny bit.

    Nice capture and comp, Leo. Cute bird, like pose, diagonal perch with vegitation and the soft neutral BG really provides good contrast. Agree about taking a bit off rt.

    What a cute bird! Nice exposure and interesting perch.

    I agree about the space on the right.

    Did you use a flash?

    No flash used Noelle. Just morning sunlight. The background is a distant tree covered hillside.

    Excellent photo and very nice light.
    I too, would move the bird over to the right, just a tad.
    I bit more DOF would have the tail in a little more focus and would have been a plus, but that is nitpicking.
    Well done.

    The contrast and background color are stunning. If this were mine, I would
    crop from the bottom of the image slightly to eliminate the greenery above the
    branch at right with the bird better presented in the frame perhaps as well.
