Beautiful image, Greg. I like the way the darker bg flows into the lighter along a line parallel to the perch. Nice side lighting on the bird.

Love the composition in this image, the BG fading on the diagonal along with the bird nicely perched, sharp and colourful.

Very fine image, Greg. Love that the diagonal composition and the fact the BG transition follows that line. Very sharp. And a beautiful bird, for sure. What does "playback used" in the caption mean?

No nits from me. Good color, contrast, detail and complementary BG.
