While I know I'm fortunate to have all of the birds here in Florida to photograph, but it sure would be nice if we had some really colorful ones like these guys around.:)

I like the angle, soft light and BG. The image looks oversaturated on my monitor and there is too much negative space at the top for my taste. The bird looks a bit soft, if it is not a heavy crop, some more sharpening might help.
