Ken,
very nice image. I like the pose of the bird, the bird itself also, and the placement of the perch. Great background as well.

Super eye contact and a great looking bird Ken, I wish for a bit more depth of field for that very long tail.

Sweet, Ken. The bird is a bit centered, but with that perch, I'd go with the same or a very similar composition.

What a cool bird Ken, it's beautiful. Love that blue eye ring. I like the gnarly perch and would not want to lose any of it but I do wonder about a slight crop from the right to de-center the bird a bit. Just a thought. Nice work!

Ken,
Great detail and composition. I love the bird's pose. He seems to be checking you out as well. My only little nit would be wishing for a tiny bit more room at the bottom of the image, but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. Nice!

Thanks for your comments, this is certainly the most beautiful "small" bird I have ever seen.

Nice image Ken. i like your placement with that perch, but my little nit is I wish it was a tiny bit higher in the frame. Still very nice work!
