Thanks for looking.

To my taste, this is absolutely stunning. Love the BG, especially the green on the right and colors, great catch light and pose and good definition. Head angle works for me given the eye contact.
Wish this were mine :)

Formidable Nicolas! J'aime beaucoup cette image. Beautiful pose, eye contact and I love the clearly visible crest.

[Bruce Enns]

Beautiful image Nicolas! I love everything about it, composition, sharpness, great colours in both subject and background, a bit of rim lit around the belly and a gorgeous exposed crest. Very well done.

Congrats!

I like it so very much, given the species and its erratic movement
it is really excellent image.

Very soothing and pleasing image. The perch plus leaves give a very nice environment and that background is gorgeous too. Oh and the bird, very pretty with the colors on its head, not to mention the effective pose and overall composition.

This is great Nicolas. I love the placement, pose, and detail of the bird. The great view of the crown is awesome. The bit of foliage really balances the right side of the image. Super!!
