Excellent image overall. Great IQ, colours, BG, perch and fruits. I only wish the bird wasn't looking away from us, but all else came together nicely. You could smooth out or blend the edges of the thick faint whitish streak above the head.

I like the comp, and pose of the bird looking along the line of the perch towards the berries. Overall, sharp and well exposed, and agree, a slightly better HA would have been good.

Really sharp and a nice set-up (I assume).
I would take a bit off the right.
The berries look too good to be true!

[Arthur Morris]

I see Stuart's point but agree with Dan; a bit of head turn short of perfection for me....

Beautiful composition and color-scheme.Loved the pose and details on the bird.
