A fairy small bird, which I have seen before but never got a reasonable image of.
Taken in Moremi National Park, Botswana.

Love these beautiful little guys!
Sweet pose with the splayed legs, nice head-turn, and interesting branch.
IMO, the lower right greenery doesn't add anything, and might easily be cloned out.

A completely new bird to me, Ken. Tack-sharp throughout, nicely composed and and interesting perch. I agree with Sandy on the lower right hand greenery. If it were mine, I might brighten the image up just a little bit.
