What a beautiful bird....Loved the composition, BG, sharpness, pose...everything I should say :S3:
My second favorite bird (after the LBR) and what a great shot. Love the soft light, the comp and the BG. Perch is slightly overpowering but this is a very minor nit. Lovely image,

Hi Craig, great close up of this colourful fellow, and with a good attentive pose. The light is soft, and I like the smooth BG. Apart from the magenta colours in the BG, I feel there is an overall magenta cast to the image, especially on the perch which gives it away.
Great eye contact and bg. Subject is well exposed with nice soft light. Great shot :w3 Small nit covered by Stu
Stunning BG and like the space you gave it Craig!:w3
Excellent image Craig. I like the bird, sharpness, pose and BG.
Lovely pose, colours and I like the comp
Good image overall. I'd crop a bit off the bottom, and there is an easily correctable magenta cast to the image (as per Stuart).
Actually most times overcast works well.
Soft light and colors are pleasant without being too bright.
This is really nice.
Thanks for all your comments, I only see it now !! Have changed the magenta cast, does this look better ?
Very nice mate..IQ and detail look great and the repost looks better!
Yes, much better!
Repost rocks Craig, also immediately noticed the magenta in the OP! Nice one!
Thanks for your commets Dumay and Morkel - much appreciated
