Love every bit of this one, Rob, even the tiny ruffled feather on its back, but especially the natural perch. Well done!

Excellent detail, sharpness, and IQ as usual Rob. The bird picked a perfect perch plant for you as the colors in it work so well with the bird. BG colors coordinate too. The bird's sing pose tops it off for me. Stellar shot IMO.

Good looking bird. The perch adds some nice texture and a nice compliment to the nicely colored BG.

Wonderful profile & perch, Rob. The yellows really stand out against the great background. Larger version really shines. :toast:

Rob - another beauty! Love the flowers and BG, and that little ruffled feather on the back adds a lot of interest.
