I like the diagonal composition created with the perch. BG is pleasing. Nicely captured.

Greetings Geoffrey...There is everything to like about this image. I'm always amazed by how good the images can be from the Bigma 50-500mm lens. With a little care and proper technique the results can be quite good. Very nice image.

Another beauty, Geoffrey. You certainly provide beautiful perches for them.

Lovely image Geoffrey beautifully soft light. maybe a fraction more dof for the bill although I realise shutter speed was obviously an issue

A delightful composition Geoffrey - pose, perch, diffuse light and warm tones, all first rate.

Colors and composition really shine here Geoff. The only nit from me would be that the bill were a bit sharper.
