Quite lovely. On my monitor, the pink in the red bud looks a bit oversaturated but the bird's eye looks perfect. Not sure what I'm seeing.

Great image Matthew! I like the singing pose, sharpness, perch and BG.

wow,nice shot Matthew

Hi Matthew, singing to the top of his voice, and nicely framed between the perches. The little fellow is really sharp, great eye, as Grace has stated, and the pink buds do add to the perch. Without checking in PS, they dont look oversaturated to me.

Beautiful image, with the bird just the right size, good diagonals, bird parallel to the branch, smooth bg, and I love having the pink flowers to add to the overall effect.

[Stan Cunningham]

Great shot Mathew, perfect pose and love the smooth background.
On my monitor it looks like NR effected the sharpness of the bird, but since no one else noticed it's probably my monitor.
