Beautiful frame Ron. I really like the upward gazing Head angle and the nice pose. Great-looking perch and an even better looking background. Deluxe!
Did you get any with his back to you on this setup?

Hi David. Thank you for your comments. No back shots on this perch, but I did get a few with a look-back pose on another perch. However, the lighting and perch were not up to standard. I think such a shot with head turn would be beautiful on this perch. Perhaps next spring. Thanks again, Ron.

Ron, Beautiful frame--great detail. For me, I think the flower might detract from the overall image. The perch is just super and I think would easily stand alone. Also, when looking at the bird, my eye tends to go toward the flower. My 2 cents.
