Wonderful capture, especially the larger version Greg. This bird is very pretty and your image illustrates that fact. Great perch and bgnd and really nice detail!

Great looking bird. The point of view gives an excellent view of the anatomy. I like the flowers-up front on the right and hinted in the background elsewhere. I wish he'd glanced up a little more.

Perfect BG for this little bird - very complimentary colours. The bright purple flowers add a burst of contrasting colour.
Fine detail and pose - excellent image!
