    What a stunning bird. I like the BG and the diagonal line created by the perch.I like the moss on the perch as well. Wish for a less steep angle . Can you do some extra S & H on the tail to recover some details? Nice shot and TFS

    Very handsome bird, and nicely captured. I like the HA, and don't mind the perch at all. I particularly like the bit of yellow on the throat. I watched these guys fairly high in the trees around our lodge in Savegre, but never managed a decent shot. Too many other birds there to divert my attention. I would have been very pleased with this, and only wished for a lower angle.

    Very nice bird, well exposed. I don't mind the perch at all. Good IQ. Wish for less steep angle and I would crop some from left
