Dave, I love these little guys, and this is a neat image. Colurs and sats look great to me. I like his pose, the fine detail, and even the pattern in the chair adds interest.
Well-done!

Very well done, Dave. Great pose and that fancy chair back makes a great perch.

This is really nice Dave. I’m in Oahu this week and I’ve been admiring these guys a lot. I hope one or two of mine turn out as nice as this did for you. Good color and sat.
