Alan, this is so lovely....wonderful photograph!!! You've brought the bird-on-a-stick to a whole different level of which you are the master! Briliant

[Ramon M. Casares]

Very nice and clean, I don't know the species so I will just enjoy those great colours, BG, perch and pose as well as detail are just terrific to me. Perfect Alan! Congratulations!

[Dave Mills]

Very artistic and beautiful image. Well executed!

[Glenn Bartley]

Awesome image of this sp.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Pretty darn awesome Alan, as per usual. I do wish that the OOF foliage behind the subject wasn't there.

[Stu Bowie]

Amazing colours captured in this Alan. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the LHS, otherwise an excellent image.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great soft light, details, setting and BG. I'm undecided about the OOF leaves behind the bird. Could you post the complete techs?

[Tony Whitehead]

I'm with Axel on the OOF leaves - undecided. I don't find them a big distraction as they are OOF enough. They are also fairly symmetrical and add depth to the image. Without them the image would look cleaner but would lack a little dimension in terms of habitat. Despite all that indecision this is a brilliant image of a brilliant bird :)
