This is over the top May, another wonderful capture by your good eyes. The trumbnail is crying out for one to get to the larger version which is soooooooo appealing to the viewer. Love this beautiful bird and how well you recorded him, great pose, detail, perch, colors and BG. IMO it couldn't be any better! Well done!

Lovely image May! I'd perhaps tone down the perch a tad, but it's a beauty!
