Ben:

I like the various colors layered on the bird, good head angle, colors .

The OOF branch on the right side is a bit distracting as it angles across the frame.

Shooting angle just a bit steep

I keep looking at the sharpness, and think the head could stand a bit more.

Cheers

Really like this portrait and the colors, the OOF elements really make this photo work for me as they serve to frame the bird..

Great color ,profile turned head nicely, but angle off.
Previously mentioned softness of eye and feathers around it. Shoulder feathers suggest main focus was there.

Lovely looking bird with very nice colours.

I like the lush habitat as well.

If mine I would try a bit more selective sharpening as mentioned.

Lovely iridescence on the sunbird, and I like the inquisitive pose. Pity about the OOF foliage in the FG.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

The new edit-slightly cropped and some sharpening applied.
