Beautiful shot - awesome BG, pose and perch. Great looking little bird. I haven't seen one of these - Thanks for sharing.

Nice, Charlie. I like the comp and the BG really shows off this bird very well. I really like the pose and the great eye contact and catchlight. To me the detail in the bird seems a bit less than I would expect. Is this a large crop?

These birds are gorgeous. You don't have to move on for my account. I love the green background and how it accentuates the yellows in the bird. I think the feather details look really good. I like how the bird posed perpendicular to your camera so we can see the entire body. Excellent shot.

Great pose Charlie, love the head angle!

For some reason the larger image looks a smidge sharper than the smaller one. Love the colors in this image, well done!
