Beautiful pose, with such sharp and crisp focus. Eucalyptus (?) flowers lovely colors as a frame.

Nice, sharp image. Excellent exposure to hold the texture of the whites. No nits from me on this one.

Excellent composition, Greg and a tack sharp image. Great to get the foliage and bird both in the focal plane.

Nice composition and color Greg. Sharp photo too. I don't see restlessness in the pose, perhaps an alertness to his surroundings, searching for his next meal.

A Beauty Greg

Great pose and excellent details, I really like how you framed the flycatcher with the yellow blooms.

Well done, Greg. The foliage on the perch adds a lot.

stunning photo Greg.
Love the glossy sheen on neck and wings. Great detail.
Complimentary background and even though there is a lot of other colour in the photo it doesn't detract from your main subject.
