    Wonderful colors and a beautiful subject, If this were mine I would even out the tonalities a bit by lightening the shadow area on the wing and head.

    Blistering IQ here Chas - I know how small these guys are and you have captured this one so well.
    Is this cropped at all?

    Chas, gorgeous shot! Beautiful light, great detail and sharpness. Excellent colors. I might consider removing the white feather? below the end of the beak. This is just a wonderful image. TFS.
