What a great photo. Love the pose and background

[Mike Milicia]

Gorgeous image! Love the raised crest and perch!
Great comp and nice job with the reds.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the perch, sharpness, composition and BG. Beautiful specimen, too, I particularly like the raised crest. I would only desaturate the reds a few points.

[Phil Ertel]

Very nice! I like the composition. The bird is good looking and I think the perch is great. The details on the perch are very pleasing to me. Congratulations.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Amazing image, great light, perch, pose and detail, colors and BG are also stunning! To be really honest I wish for tad less of a head angle so the bill doesn't merge with the head. But really a minor issue.
Big congratulations Alan.

[Roy Priest]

Wow, what a photo. Love the crest, perch, bg and composition.

[Mike Veltri]

I wouldn't change anything. Love this photo. Congrats.

[Scott Frye]

Hard bird to expose right because of the bright reds and dark back -- and this really looks good. I really like the feather deatail on this little beauty. Very nice

[Stu Bowie]

Lovely looking bird, and I like colours and detail on him. The BG compliments him very well.

[Jasper Doest]

Excellent portrait Alan! Perhaps a bit too tight in frame, but it still works for me. You nailed the reds to perfection, but the overall photograph seems a bit too warm for my personal taste (perhaps due to the fill?) so I'd cool it down just a tiny bit...

[Mike Lentz]

Wonderful perch, attentive pose and BG here Alan.
Nits???? maybe clone the top of the stick where you can see its broken off.

[David Hemmings]

Why do you post? No one can critique anything!!!!;)

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Alan...brilliant !! as they say in UK. awesome !! as we say it here. I have yet to see this bird.....what a beauty. I'd prefer more room on the top and less at the bottom. I think it will balance it better. I realise the perch is too prety and you probably dont want to crop it. just my 2 cents.

what a lovely bird! pops really nicely from the BG. I like how the perch leads your eye to the bird from the corner.

[Kiran Poonacha]
