Nice bird, colors and perch. Composition feels a little unbalanced, probably because the bird is centered and looking towards the image' edge. That said, I like it a lot :wink: , Cheers, Hans

I like the comp Greg. It might also look good with less bottom and more top as the bottom is heavy with a lot of wood as posted. But I like it. Nice light and BG.

Greg,
I like this image as posted, the elements at the bottom display environment very well. The overall detail and BG are excellent and the colors are outstanding.

I like everything about this except I agree somewhat with what Hans said about the balance. Overall, an excellent shot though.

Great perch and pose, Greg. I'm not too fond of the foliage in the face, but the birds don't always take direction.

Very nice setting and background. Too bad the bird isn't facing the other direction. That would help balance the image.
