    A nice capture of a photogenic bird. Great perch, eye contact from the bird, and you even got a little smile on that beak.

    Well done on all counts as noted above. Love the BKGR and the bird! A thinner perch with a better view of the tail would have been nice but still excellent as is.

    Hi Jim, excellent IQ here, and I do like the pose and HA. You have brought out the colours and details so well, and just love the perch and BG. The visitors to your set up rock.

    Totally agree with Arthur about the thickness of perch and visible tail. I do like (a lot!) the BG, light and clearness of the image.
