Photographed last fall at a local area

Nikon D2x with 400mm 2.8 and 1.7 extender ISO 200 1/500th and f8

Great find and pose. I find the BG a bit distracting and the bird is a bit tight in the frame.

[Jim Poor]

I like it. I might darken the oof BG area and blur it a bit more.

Hi John, I agree with Axel's remarks, the colors are very good but the background is distracting, specially behind the bird.

[Grace Scalzo]

Quite a beautiful bird, you've captured nice details and controlled the yellow well.

[Ian Colley]

Nice shot, I like the detail, head angle, eye highlight and the perch, the in focus leaves gives the image a nice touch. The background although distracting adds a little of the birds environment, however the darker areas tend to be distracting.
