Very nice shot, Geoffrey. Almost monochromatic.

I like the perch and the BG.

Delightful detail, Geoffrey. The separation between the subject and the background is great.

Nice capture

Can't be easy to get this close with a 90mm . . . I can understand why you lost lots of them! But you got a great keeper here. I love the color and the details.
