Hi,
Another very attractive shot of a beautiful species.Composition works for me,as does the perch and colours.
Only nit is the whites on the bird's collar have blown.
Depending on what Raw convertor you use you can sometimes recover slight over-exposure by combining two conversions a standard one and a linear one.
Lovely pose and light and I do like that pale blue backdrop. :cool:

Hi Steve, a nice bird with a great pose. My only nit would be a little contrastry with the blown whites. :wavey:

Hi Steve

Sweet shot, nice composition - yes re the whites but this is a minor nit!

Hi Steve

Very difficult to get any detail in the head, but you managed it.

Nice one :toast:
