Beautiful image Graham, a nice perch, beautiful complimentary BG and the singing pose is the icing on this gorgeous cake.

Really nice image, Graham. Lovely colors in the background. Bird is very sharp and I love the singing posture. This must have been a very hard crop to choose, with the bird facing away from the flower. I do think I would like just a tad more on the top since he is looking up. But just as is, absolutely wonderful.

Great setting and pose Graham. Not sure about the comp. I can see why you'd want to leave in the flower but.....? Do you have any more room to the left?

cheers
Rob

Sharp, well-exposed image of a beautiful bird singing in an attractive environment. :toast:

Hi Rob, Thanks for your comment. I do have a little more room on the left with just the same background. This will mean only half the flower showing and the image looks a bit unbalanced to me. Graham

Super pose, perch and background. But I am not too sure about the composition. The oof flower competes for attention. Maybe a vertical comp with the bunting taking a little less in the frame?

Excellent image Graham. The bird is putting major effort into producing a sone.
