Very nicely done. Wonderful BG. Sharp in all the right places. The whites are well handled.

This is really nice! Love the perch...it almost looks like it has paws of its own!

Looks like better image quality than your previous one, Geoffrey. This one is sharp and we have a better view of the bird.....but the other one made me laugh! :toast:

The colors really stand out next to that clean background. Very sharp as well.
