Fantastic pose, perch and BG. Great DOF and comp. Love this shot Jim.

Jim, good DOF, super pose,sharp, and I really like the colours on this guy. The BG colours work well with the bird.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Amazing looking bird with a great complimentary BG...Very nicely presented image!

[Don Nelson]

Outstanding image - I like the background and over-the-shoulder head positon.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Beautiful image great quality, fine detail and exposure. I like the composition but for me the bird is just a tad too big in the frame

[Melissa Groo]

Unbelievable IQ and colors, Jim. Superb image. I would like to see just a tad more room all around.

[Dan Busby]

One of your better ones Jim. Nice detail and entire bird within the DoF. Lovely pose that shows the intricate pattern on the back.

Green on Green has never looked better......

I'm with the ladies in wanting more room for the comp....but man, all else is fantastic!! Colours, pose, BG, perch all work wonderfully together.
