Pretty pose/perch and detail. The large image looks a bit chunky (over sharpened).

Beautiful shot with great colors and detail Joel. My only thought might be to place the bird a bit higher in the frame to move it out of the center.

Beautiful bird and pose, Joel. I agree with Phil that it looks a bit oversharpened.

Really nice colors and BG in this. The detail looks good...not to sure if it is over-sharpened... think it is close....but IMO, not too far over the line for the web. My only nit is I might take a smidgen more from the top so it doesn't seem as centered

A little beauty for sure, great pose and nice details. Agree about the centered composition.
