Common visitor to my backyard, they are my favorite subject to practice and they are always there when I need to test something... I think this male is in full breeding colors...
Very nicely done. Lovely BKGR, sharp, and a great SUBJ. You might try selecting the iris with a Quick Mask and then lightening it (for a more natural look). (Note: levels on an adjustment layer = Contrl M.) (Thanks to Robert O'Toole for that!)
