This is a exceptional. The colors, the pose, the BG, the branch, everything is great. I wouldn't change a thing.

This should get the forum people raving. It is a wonderful bird image. The interation is extremely compelling. Simultaneously both the back and side views completely cover the physical aspects of the species. The perch, the birds size in the frame, the colors, the sharpness, the exposure and the fine details are all tops. CONGRATS!!!

Peter W. said it all. I second it.
Great shot, I've never seen these birds do anything but zoom around and never land. Congrats.
