In the hot summer we have here the birds flock to my little bird bath placed conveniently outside my front porch. These little guys are quite common and one of my favourites.

C&C welcome

Such a colourful bird you got there Carl
the low level perspective is nice, i like the IQ and the colours
eye is special
i may have preferred less of top and more of water in the frame, just each of our tastes
nice one over all

Nice colorful bird, well photographed.

Lovely species. to my eye, the background competes for attention, so I might crop in to eliminate some of it.

What a beautiful bird! Nice low angle and you timed your image at the right time as far as pose goes...or chose the correct one to process and share :-) Nice colours and I like the subdued light. I'm OK with the crop and amount of BG showing but agree it is competing for attention due to the large dark areas in it. I'm liking the bottom half more than I thought I would.
