Magnificent image of beautiful and colorful bird.
Love the alert pose, beautiful colors,sharpness,details in colors and nice BG.
Little more room at top will not harm the image. TFS.

Regards,

Hi Craig, lovely image of this colourful bird, like the sharpness and H/A. Great BG too, just wish the bird was a little less tight in the frame.

Nice job on this cool looking bird. BG is nice. I think it's a little tight in the frame as well.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the pose, colours, details and BG. Well done Craig!

Hi Craig, great catching up yesterday, and looks like you came away with more than me. :w3 I like the stately pose, shows off all the colours nicely, and good choice of aperture to create good DOF on the bird. I agree, a little tight on the right.

Hey Craig,
A bit more room right and bottom would work for me as well.....but I like tight comps so not too much for me! Very nice colors and exposure and great angle as well!

Personally I like tight in the frame so long as the quality is up to it, this passes the great image quality test so glad to see it up close and all the fine detail and color showing clearly, Nice posture and great light in the eye, good perch that doesn't compete with the main subject and nicely isolated from the backdrop
