Very nice indeed and very artistic too, thanks to the interesting perch and the high key effect.

Love this one Edwin, this is exactly my cup of tea. A bit of fine art in the birding world.

I do like the artistic aspects of this shot. Simply wonderful. There seems to be a vignette which I'm not too fond of. It's a personal thing...

Beautiful image - and how obliging of him to sit on such a wonderfully formed perch! ;-) I also like the way he is looking straight towards you rather than head to the side.
