I quite like the scalloped underparts
Arno, This is wonderful capture..Sharp, Nice details, beautiful BG and perch makes this winner...slight head turn towards us would have been nice but this is fine as presented...
Lovely clean image, I cannot suggest much to improve it, I like the composition and the background. I have never seen this bird but I wonder if a little more contrast would be a good idea - maybe not??
Beautiful bird and perch. Super IQ. A better HA would have put this over the top. I also wish you had pointed your lens down a wee bit more (or you can crop a bit top and left). Great BG!!
