Sandy Richards suggested that I remove a small feather nit on the bird's chest. This is the repost with the nit removed.

Comments welcomed

Very nice eye contact and shot Patrick, if this is cropped much I would give the bird a little more room. :toast:

The colors are right on and I love the catch in the eye. When I look at the image I do feel a little crowded, so maybe just a bit more space around the bird. Well done!

Patrick, I like the light on the bird, the diagonal perch and the head turn. Agree with the comp suggestion.

Nice bird, comp and perch. Those chest feathers are amazingly fine. They almost look completely smooth. Well done.

As said previously, well done Patrick. I hope to get one of these in the open like this.
