Nice and sharp from tip to tail and I really like the lookback pose. The greens almost compete with the bird but in that he's so rich himself, I think it works

[Tobie Schalkwyk]

Beautiful colours, perfect focus, nice composition & eye contact. Well done!

The colours on this bird looks perfect ,also pin sharp, can't see anything I would like to change, very nice indeed.

Good look-back pose, colours, sharpness. I'd probably remove the tiny bit of white debris at bill-tip, and I wish the subject was not so steep up (at least it appears to be).

[Holger Leyrer]

This is one of my favorite pose. Love the colors and details.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the look back pose, DOF, sharpness and composition. Well done Douglas.

[Diane Miller]

Wonderful colors, sharpness and BG, as said above. What would you think of cropping out the brightest areas at the top?

DIANE- I am accustomed to cropping for prints and prefer upper ares for a birds' ethereal escape. Here is the crop you requested-thanks. DGLS
