Nice front facing pose. Good job on the flash-looks natural. Like the perch with the moss and lichen.

Lovely image, David. I really like the pose in this one.

Nice job on this David. You handled the harsh light quite well. Nice background and perch with a pleasing pose. Subject is well placed in the frame.

Perfect details and I love the colors of the background and branch. It’s a nice contrast with the bird.

The perfect perch for that bird, and a BG to die for! The use of flash is not at all obvious, and I wonder if you might have gotten away with a bit more. The shadows still seem a bit dark and might be lifted a little without it being obvious?

We had a lot of these guys down here last year and I didn’t see one this year.
