I like the side lighting in this image, Ken, and the blur in the bg is just about perfect.

Ken,
Love the image. Great colorful bird. I wonder how the image would look with the two small sticks at the bottom left cloned out.

Nice job handling the side light Ken. Colors are great...I might still pull a tiny bit more detail out of the shadows if it were mine, but just slightly so it doesn't appear unrealistic.

Thanks everybody for your comments, they are much appreciated.
I chose not to clone out the smaller branches as I felt they added a little realism
