The light was sweet but the perch a little "heavy"

[Ron Sprunger]

... but the bird and background extremely lovely. Very well done.

sweet light and nice details, I'm ok with the perch. A bit head turn towards us would be great. BG needs some NR.

[gail bisson]

Beautiful light and BG. I like the perch and agree with some NR on the BG,

Agree about NR but what a nice shot! sweet light and nice perch! Well done!

[Stu Bowie]

Sweet light Ben, and the PK is well exposed. Great colour to the BG, and agree some NR needed there.

[BenBotha]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I reduced noise on the background.

Killer light and great subject you have here. I wish for a tad of space off of the top.

[arash_hazeghi]

Ben, loved this shot. illustrates how important BG is. terrific exposure. I don't mind the perch at all. You have cropped this one perfectly, IMO.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot. Great background, real nice perch, love the warm soft light, and great comp.
Well done.
