Perfect habitat shot. I'd like for a little more room on the bottom but that is VERY minor.

I like the comp, HA, and colors. Agree with Luke that it could have just a tad more room at the bottom. Nice job.

A lot to like here, and nice pose. A bit more space at the bottom would be beneficial. Good work!

The perch and color scheme set this image apart for me Larry. I think you've done very well here.

Really attractive perch. It also emphasizes the small and fragile nature of these birds, love it!
