I like the rich BG, which gives the opportunity for the BT to stand out. There is some nice detail and the colour looks good, but wished you had moved to the right as you see it, to show more of the bird.

Agree on the perch, but overall, a nice BOAS.

Perch problem aside, I think it is excellent. Numbers are really down around here.
