Seen one in my garden for the first time ever. Not managed to get an image as good as this though.
Excellent.

Excellent Ron, saw one of these down the lane last night. i dont have a single pic of one.
I would be tempted to tone down the green/reduce the saturation a little. but that might be my monitor, i am still trying to get my calibration sorted.

Good detail in the bird Ron, think I'd go with Mark's suggestion, tone down the greens a tad otherwise a quality shot.

Good detail and nice composition. A pleasing perch is an added bonus. A bogey bird of mine I have yet to capture.
