What a gorgeous bird! And a very nice pose and head angle. Were it mine I might be tempted to slightly brighten the bird and slightly tone down the flowers.

Great looking bird, nice pose and fantastic colours. The strength of this image for me is the beutiful bot not harsh colours.

[PhilCook]

Stunning looking bird !...lovely composition with the flowers that match the birds chest color nicely. There is a bit of noise showing in the black areas that may be reduced with some selective noise reduction and as a tiny nit pic I'd suggest remove the one little bit of cone shaped flower behind the neck

[Marina Scarr]

Stunning bird, and I really like the pose. I am with Phil on a little bit of noise which you could easily remedy. If your ethics allow, I would also agree with removing the small flower just behind the bird's neck. In a perfect world, I wish that the green leaf behind the bird's head were elsewhere. That said, I understand you had a tricky flower to deal with here.

Gorgeous. The perch is as beautiful as the bird here. I like all the lines and angles that the plant offers.
