Congratulation on such a beautiful bird, great image in all respects.
Happy birthday, and I wish you the best in 2009!!!

[Tony Whitehead]

Congratulations and best wishes for the year. I remember being 29 sometime:D. Love this image - bird stands out beautifully against the OOF and colours of the BG. Diagonal of perch works well and the down-curving leaf really adds to the image.

[Fernando Cerra]

Me gusta en todos los sentidos, especialmente el contacto con el ojo, el color del fondo y la percha. Un abrazo de Año Nuevo y doble por tu cumpleaños !

[Art Kornienko]

Colours and composition are very nice. Lighting seems to be approaching a bit of harshness but still works well. Lovely shot Ramon and have a very Happy Birthday.
