Looks like the perfect pose, nice color complimented by the green backdrop, eye is nice and clear....I guess probably common in your part of the world Joel, but a treat for my eyes. The dark patched towards the bottom are showing some waviness/jpeg artifacts
Sir,
Fabulous image of beautiful and colorful bird. Lovely bg.Loved the head turn pose,lights and great details.I would love to see horizontal composition if there is space on the right,where perch will be smaller.
Very nice shot Joel but the wingtip whites are hot. Very difficult to get those right on this bird. I like the pose and BG and the eye. I too would like to see a little off the bottom and more to the right.
Very nice perch, pose and bg, Joel. I too see some banding/artifacts in the bg, but it could very well be my monitor.
I would try a horizontal comp with this one.
