DOF is tough, I am really close, almost at minimum focus length to get these.

You got the angle perfect to get that gorget. Sharpness is almost there - 2X probably had something to do with that though. Birds breast also has an unnatural pinkish cast. I don not know if that results from pumping up the levels
or from natural reflection of the red perch.
Looks like you saved the best for last!
I agree with Dorian re: the pinks in the whites of the breast.
Love the snow and the gorget. I like the curve of the perch- would gave loved to see it in focus throughout it's length( that is a very minor issue) ,

This one is indeed the best of the series! Lovely colors on the gorget, great pose and good looking perch. The ice on the perch adds a lot, especially good-looking to the right.
I would have liked to see the perch in focus but that might have compromised the BG. Dito the pink hue in the whites.
Well we have gorget here. The pose is nice and the snow as well.
I like the gorget but would like to see a bit more detail in the crown. Try reducing the LUMINANCE in REDs and PURPLEs.
