I like this very much. The colors and detail are very good.

[Philip Pietri]

Wow, this is one sharp image. So much detail! I like the background and the perch is good too. No nits!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

I feel I can touch this fellow! really good sharpness and eye contact.

[Bonnie Block]

Love this one--Great pose--with super colors and wonderful details.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Image quality is outstanding. It feels like I could reach the near wing and delicately peel it open. The only thing that could be better is the blunt ending of the perch...but that is searching hard for something to point out :-)

[Dave Shaw]

Beautiful image. I'm really trying to think of something constructive, but this is just so **** good I failing miserably. Seems to me you did everything right.

Excellent study of detail Sergey - very crisp presentation and good job with exposure.
