Nice low angled light, David. Also great positioning in the frame and nice smooth background.

I like the composition and lighting David. The BG colors are very complimentary and the bird captured showing really nice plumage detail. This is wonderful as captured and presented and understanding we all do what we can do with a shot, but next time I would ask the bird to do a 1/4 turn to the left to capture a tad of that gorgeous light on his breast. :biggrin: Well done!

Super shot. Nice light and the details and bg are outstanding.

Very nice shot David. I really like composition with the bird on the curved branch and the background colors.

Excellent background choice and bokeh!
