Nice BG, perch and feather detail here. I probably would have cropped it some to remove some of the big branch in the foreground but it is really a nice photo.

Nice exposure and sharpness. I agree with Mark's composition suggestions.

Thanks for your comments, I can see how a tighter crop would help, I will have to play around with the cropping.

Great bird and great techs. Nice work on the delicate colors on the flanks. If it were mine, I'd crop it to vertical where the branch turns down.

Wonderful species, never seen it before. Background and overall atmosphere. Cheers, Hans

A very fun bird to photograph in the Catalina's. I also agree about the cropping to reduce the OOF areas. Nice detail where it counts with a complimentary background, way to go.

Love this. What I really like about this image is the setting. I think it might be worth while changing the crop to see if this gives an even stronger image.
