Thanks for looking:)

Nice and shaper, lovely soft plumage textures and the colour is a great focal point. The soft OOF foliage makes a great frame. I might lighten the dark area on the left a little.

Sweet bird; I like the slight head-tilt and the eye contact and especially how the vegetation makes a natural frame. Try adding a bit more light. Thanks for sharing.

Cute little guy, and nice vantage point! Great view of the crest. Good evergreen perch, and nice BG. I find the shadow on the belly a bit strong though.
