Perhaps a bit of a 'pedestrian' pose and yes, the green shoot could be removed, however this little fellow is slightly different to what we normally see.

I have seen these guys before, and you have made a much better job than most pictures of them I have seen, especially as you have avoided the eye grading into the plumage. Great picture, and I would leave the green twig where it is.

Exposed perfectly and the bg sets it off a treat. It would have been nice to have the little guy looking this way a bit more, but they don't take direction very well do they. Really very nice Stephen.
Great picture of a bird I have never seen or heard of before. Very well exposed good background I have no problem with the shoot but would have liked a little more room on the right hand side.

A nice looking little bird, never seen one before.

Hi Stephen
A bit of a head turn would have been good and I think I would have removed the 'green shoot' that said great soft light, BG and detail. Very nice and always good to see a new bird!
