Really a nice setting and bird Claude. A bit of noise showing up in the larger version. If you are not adverse to using noise reduction, I might apply a bit to the BG only. An image worth that small bit of improvement IMO.

Sharpness loks good. Nice perch and background. Light is a bit on the harsh side and has blocked up the white stripe on the crown.

Agree with both Ron and Rich. The noise is really pretty fine, and a little NR would go a long way.

Nice pose on a nice perch. Love the contrast of the bird against the all-green perch and BG.

Background noise successfully removed in PS Ron, I was surprised at the amount of noise at ISO 1100 with this camera. I cannot recover the details in the crown Richard, yes the light was harsh, I guess fill flash would have been in order?? I am still allergic to using this. (from the old camera days when it was hell to use). Thx for comments.

Square comp works, Claude. Along with a little NR I might try to clean up some of the droppings in front of the bird.

One of these little beauties turned up in the UK back in 2007, but unfortunately I couldn't get to see it. Good capture, Claude.
