Great profile POV of this singing pose, sharp details Rob.
Colors look very natural, like that patch of color at the throat too..
Well done! :toast:

Cute little guy, and well photographed, Rob. I like the singing pose and the perch and the subdued palette is very pleasing.

Great look at this guy. I like how all the tones of the background and perch are so similar to the bird. :toast:

Nice timing to get the beak open and interesting to hear that they like to vocalize that much, excellent comp and background Rob, well done.

Rob, really an excellent image. Singing pose, nice detail, pleasing and clean background and good light. And a beautiful if understated (which I like) subject. Very, very nice.

Excellent - especially the singing pose, detail and subdued setting complimenting the bird.

Lovely in every respect. Your backgrounds are always perfectly matched to the birds and details are perfect. Another fine image by you.
