Nice image, Patrick.
It's a beautiful bird, on a nice perch and bg.

Like the diagonal perch and small bits of red and yellow hold my interest on the bird -- lovely shot

These silky-feather species are tough to get sharp; nicely done. The steep angle isn't ideal but you got everything the bird gave you. There seems to be some vignetting; from the shot or added in post-processing. Avery nice shot.

Hi Patrick,

Nice and crisp. I find the vignetting to be a slight distraction. I prefer the sky to be bright from edge to edge.......................Jim
