John: very pretty bird in a great setting. Excellent detail in the bird's head and chest. My only suggestion of the most minor nature would be to tone down the yellow leaves just a bit. Stunning nonetheless. Richard

Pretty little bird, well taken IMHO! I really like the pose you caught this bird in, very attractive. Yellows look OK to me, but can see where the brighter leaves can be distracting. Thanks for sharing.

Great pose and beautiful colors ! Wish to see a bit more sharpness on the bird's back and tail, but it looks very impressive as it is.

Thanks all. Appreciated !
It would have been nice with more DOF but conditions were not good and the bird wouldn't co operate by sitting side on !!
I did like the colours though !
Cheers
