The light and detail in the larger image are superb Karen. They're introduced over here and I have a pair that nest somewhere in the front yard but I've never got close to them

cheers

Really like the detail and the lovely perch Karen. Both bird and perch are sharp and I like your composition too.

Love the light and comp on this Karen. Too bad those blossoms don't stay around longer.

Terrific detail here, Karen. The flowers and the light take it over the top.

Great all around comp Karen. Love the DOF with the bird and perch elements nice and sharp. Great BG tops it off for me. Very well done.

Beautiful image - I agree about a tiny bit of fill being helpful.
