These kind of shots make the price of the gear seem worth it. :smile:

Beautiful little guy! The delicate branch is just right for a perch, I like the way you caught the head turn, and the detail is outstanding!

That's a pretty cool little character. I think you nailed the perfect pose, showing off a little bit of all the interesting plumage patterns and colors.
