nice eye contact, exposure and BG on this shot. Like the colorful breast. Nice shot.

Superb detail! A lovely subject in a classic pose. The perch is fairly massive, but not obtrusive. The BG is everything one could wish for.

Such a typical setting and pose Greg - love the little head turn to get the eye contact
