Stuart,

Very nice breeding plumage image. Nice exposure on the whites, and IMO, just the right amount of saturation to bring out the breeding colors.

I would say that overall, it's a bit busy with the bg. Not much you could have done there though, with the proximity of the bird to it's surroundings.

Beautiful exposure, I don't mind the surroundings, the green looks good. Looks like a white flower cluster in the bg, I might clone that to green as it distracts.

Really nice capture of the breeding plumage. I don't mind the background, but would take Jack's suggestion about the flower under consideration. Nice details in the bird too.
