Here is another bird from my trip to Arizona.
I cloned out a lighter area on the bottom left of the frame. I hope it's not too obvious.

excellent Luis pose light and sharpness are perfect. the perch looks great too,
BTW, looks like you got a MK4 after all, good choice ditching that 7D.

Luis, beautiful pose, exp, sharpness and bkgd. Like the perch with all the holes i it. Great shot.
Cool bird ... great perch, BG, detail, and composition! Very nicely done!
Only thing that may have improved it for me is a bit more of a head turn.
All of the colors go great together. This is well exposed, sharp, and a nice comp. Like already mentioned a head turn this way would have made a very good image better.

Luis, this could not be better IMO. Well done.
Lovely perch, bird and bg. I too wish for a bit of head turn, but would love to have an image like this! TFS.
A great pose with exposure, detail and colors near perfect.... Love that perch
