I like this a lot Barry. The perch and the bird's singing pose is nicely displayed against a beautifully muted background and there is good detail as well. :toast:

I really like the pose, Barry, and that excellent, creamy background...
Lovely capture!

Nice composition and the BG is great. In the large version the bird looks just a tiny bit soft though the bottom part of the perch looks sharp. A minor nit though.

The bokeh color transition in the BG is a fabulous setting for this beauty - don't know how to offer any help - the image is top notch.
