WOW...killer shot, Jim. stunning details and colors. loved the perch and the BG as well. simply gorgeous.
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.![]()
What a fantastic shot. Beautiful eye contact . Love the mossy perch and the BG is great. Very nice.

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.
