Couldn't ask for much better than this, Ken. Beautiful detail in the bird, a lovely slanted perch, great light and bg. Sweet.

A beautiful bird. I like the composition: perch, background, pose with the tail an extension of the perch.

Excellent species to capture, and doing it in this way... you must be a happy man . I like it ! The hanging branch suits the bird's pose very well. , Hans
