Lovely little bird in a great pose.
I like the BG; the colours add a lot of interest.
The light leaf (or whatever it is) on the right is fairly distracting. Toning it down a lot would help blend it in so it doesn't stand out and compete for attention.
Very nice!

A lovely image as posted. The soft look of the background leaves and colors give this a painterly feel.

I also like the texture and tone of the leaves and agree with Richard it gives it a painterly feel.

A sweet set-up you have at your home John. This one's another beauty, great traditional pose, very sharp.

Love the way the bird stands out from the background. Even though it's quite busy I think it really adds to the iamge
