We have the Olive Sided around here although I haven't seen one since I posted the one I did see some years ago.

Nice take on this little bird. I like the background bokeh it really pushes the bird up front and center.

Head feather and eye detail and contrast is fine. Feather detail falls off at the shoulder.

The surrounding greenery adds a lot of eye appeal to this very good shot.

The colors are bright and not over saturated.

Nicely done... Bob

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that pretty bird and its location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

So cute. I love how it is perching in the evergreens with some brown fruits in the branches. Its yellow chest looks so sweet. Great lighting, focus, and angle. You've really framed this well, too with this landscape orientation. This scene is so uplifting and I can just imagine the loud melodious song with this image.
