This makes me so envious. :) I've never seen this species and this image is excellent. The soft light and fill flash work really well.
I like it all. The composition, the headturn the colours and BG. very very very nice!
A very well done here. Love the colors and general comp.
Super pose, BG & perch. This is one of the better Paintws Bunting images I have seen.

This is beautiful. I love the pose.
I'd give almost anything to see a Painted Bunting. Beautiful image.
Love the pose and colors. The color patch on the throat looks a bit oversaturated and lacking in detail.
Incredible colors and great eye contact!
an image many photographers at Corkscrew dream of while standing for an hour at the feeders
agree with all of the above
one more minor nit/suggestion - - with cloning you could improve the eye catch, and give it a sharper look
great effort
Robert, this is a incredible image. Nothing but positive from me. I like everything about it!!
Best,
Howard.
Nice looking bird,I Iove the pose and colors!
