    Great picture. The colors of the bird is great. Cactus is a bit too much glare. Sun or flash? Maybe a little less cactus?

    Beautiful bird, and stunning capture. I'm torn about the lowest "pear" -- it's not quite shown in its entirety, so it might be better cropped at mid-point, or cropped just above it to eliminate it altogether?

    IQ and BG are your usual superb. HA police are in seventh heaven! I like how the bird has his foot resting on the bud. I also like the natural imperfections in the cactus. I agree with Bill re: lower bud-do you have more room to include the whole bud?

    That perch is awesome! A really great photo. Any way to take a little of the glare off the cactus?

    Geir, no flash, just morning light.

    Hey Gail, yes I have more room to include the base of the bottom fruit. I'll take a look at that when I get home to by big monitor (on a laptop now) Thanks.

    Steve, I can do that in post processing, which I will give a try when I get home. Thanks.
