[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, angle, details and colors. I might remove the bright spots on the bill.

What a great picture!

I really like the warm tones.

[Alfred Forns]

You will remember this one Marko !!!! Very Sweet and love the feel !!! Big Congrats on this one !!!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Wow, very beautiful. The colours are quite appealing, and the bird gave you a good head turn in comparision to the body angled away. The image feels like it needs slight CCW rotation, and the bright vertical streaks in the reflection are rather odd?

[Maxis Gamez]

What a lovely image. Very vivid colors. The head pose is simply terrific. Love it!

Excellent capture!

[Bonnie Block]

So sweet! Beautiful colors and angle--pose. First class.

[Philip Pietri]

I love it - not much to gripe about here. I do agree with the slightest little hair of ccw rotation.

I keep looking at this image...it is so lovely. Technically it is very well done, but the beautiful warm colors, low perspective, and tranquility of the image raise it to a higher level. Just beautiful...

[Marko Matesic]

Thx guys I am glad you like it :)
Daniel Cardieux....now when you mentioned it I see it also....I think those streaks are from bright spots on beak....I don`t remember if I cloned biggest spots ....I will look at the raw file to bee 100% sure.....thx for comment you have great eye ;)
