    I agree with you Arash. But this is on a steep hill, I sure wish we could do some setup as well.

    A lot to like here Troy. Nice pose, good sharpness, and nice DOF. I like the green BG. The perch is just OK, but we can't have everything!

    Lovely colours throughtout the BE Troy, and I too like the ruffled plumage. I feel you could maybe tone down the brighter area of the BG.

    Troy, nice colors, bird angle and shooting angle. I dont mind the perch. Great bokeh.

    I am finding the sharpness a bit uneven...cant say why. The eye is sharp and also the wings and belly...but for some reason the blue amd green throat feathers appear a bit soft. might just be the plumage.
