Beautiful, Greg. Excellent dof and detail in the bird and I like the composition. The oof leaves add to the overall look for me-glad you left them.

Beautiful shot, the bird is in focus and the colours are great. I do find the leaves at the top a little distracting. Well done.

I love the textures and colors on this little guy against that great green BG - beautiful. Excellent detail and I like how he is looking right down the line of the perch - sweet.
