Beautiful, Ken. Superb detail in both the bird and perch and both of them are interesting in their own rights and work nicely together.

The bird, the pose, the perch, the BG and the detail—all perfect, Ken. No nits with the picture! I went to my other brain, Google, which shows you are correct in your call. Evidently, there is a broad variation in the blue around the cheeks.
