Really nice job on this guy, Dave. The feather detail is excellent and I like the typical end-of-the-branch perch.

Hi Dave, really nice pose you captured with a bit of gorget color showing. Seems to be giving you a wink. Nice job.

What a beautiful, beautiful bird! I love the cloudy background too! I’m not such a fan of square crops, but this little guy is so cute nothing but a hugging crop would do :slight_smile:
Grt, Ingrid.
