Congrats on the new species, and a nice-looking one at that.
Nice detail and colors, and an interesting perch -- looks like they need do land carefully ;^)
The composition is especially good. I like the way the greenery fits in the frame.

What a nice image of this Shrike, Ken. The illumination, the background, the sharpness, and composition are all spot on. The green of the tree and the background perfectly compliments the rufous-colored back. Very well done.
