I do like this Phil and it is an interesting perch but not sure if the perch is a bit dominant as the bird is so small, others may not though just my opinion.

Phil: I like this very much. The perch adds interest for me. Great detail (larger image shows this off nicely).

I like the perch too Phil. And the bird. Great one leg up pose with nice head turn and I enjoy the background. Exposure looks good also.

Great comp Phil. Everything is nice and sharp. BG is stellar. I might run some NR on the BG as some noise is evident in the larger version. Well done.

What a cool shot, Phil! Love this. The bird's pose looks commanding and territorial to me. The cones make a delightful addition and with the bg are highly complimentary to the bird. Beautiful work. :cool:
