Great detail in the large version. I like the pose and background.

Nice color on this little bird. Perch, BG, detail, catch light - all very nice.

Sweet, Jerry. The detail, color, perch and background are all top notch. A bit of a head turn would have pushed this over the top. devil

Lovely, Jerry. They sure were nice to you. I love the fluffed out plumage, but do wish the head had been turned a touch more toward you-darn prima-donna models.

The way the feathers are fluffed-up is simply great, Jerry ! The head turn works for me. Cheers, Hans
