What a gorgeous bird and I love the colors, details and the creamy BG. I feel a landscape format would suit this pose better and I don't think the perch above adds much to the image. Just a thought for you. Well done.

Very pretty bird with great pose and bg. Agree that it would look a little better as a "clean" landscape.

Great shot of a beauty bird i agree on the composition recommendations. To much vertical nothingness around the bird and the dead leaf doesn't warrant enough interest for inclusion in this shot.

Thanks for looking,

A beautiful bird very well shot. Great detail and colour. I too agree with a landscape crop to exclude the OOF leaves

Beautiful species. I agree with David and would crop this differently to eliminate the upper portion....stunning colors and pose
