Very nice picture, Fabio. Wonderful bird with the nice touch of the catch-light in the eye. Diffused light that enhances the plumage. Nice BG, creamy and well tuned to the subject. My only nit would be a bit more space for the bird to look into. :toast:

This is really nice Fabio. Love the bird, perch, and BG. I agree, I think the comp would work better with the bird further left in the frame leaving more room on the right of the bird than the left. I realize this will cut off the nice vine end in the LLHC, but I am hoping maybe there is some good vine stuff up in the URHC to take its place. Well done overall.

great perch and a nice pose, Fabio. I agree that a little more room on the right would be better for the comp.

Very pleasing tones. Like the perch with that curly vine.

Very lovely shot, Fabio. I like the perch of the bird on the reed with that nice curly vine. A beauty. :wavey:

Fabio, well done and interesting composition. It breaks some rules but because of the twining vine it works for me. I like it as you've presented it.

Agree with the suggestions for recomp. Nice soft colors well represented. The smaller image is soft, but the larger photo really does this justice.

Great perch and setting Fabio. Would have been nice to have the tail to balance it more but you can't have everything

cheers

Fabio,
I like this guy very much, nice perch and detail. Just a bit more room on the right side. :toast:

Great shot. As said previously, consider giving more room on the right if possible.

I think I'd move the frame to the right also - lovely shot all the same.

Great interest with the dried vine wrap, I think it makes this comp work well.
Excellent sharp detail, DOF, and natural color. Like that BG with the light blue running through too.
Well done! :toast:
