    Jim:

    Sharp, well exposed, nice size perch for this bird, like the feather detail on back.

    Well done.

    Cheers

    Agree with Randy on all accounts, only suggestion would be to remove the bright spot (log) above his left foot.

    Lovely image!
    Great pose and BG, with excellent detail and exposure!
    Very nicely done!

    If there's more room on the right, might consider moving the bird a bit to the left in the frame.

    Jim, excellent feather detail, and I like the angled pose. Cool BG, and I would maybe take a touch off the left.

    Great colors and detail, Jim. The green background complements the bird's color very well. I might move the bird a little to the left.

    Nice image indeed! Composition looks balanced to me - maybe a tiny bit more room on the right.

    Very well controlled Jim and an excellent record of the subject.

    I would take some off the LHS as we look at the image.

    Re-post looks great with more room, and you toned down that light spot..
