Chris:
NIce breeding colors on your spoonie, dramatic conductor pose, nice separation from the bg.

Needs CW rotation to level the background and more room above the wings.

Cheers

I like the sharpness, wing tip blur, colourful subject and composition. I agree with Randy regarding CW rotation. Well done.

This is a well decorated specimen! Very dynamic incoming pose. The pink on green looks great. I agree with rotation and more space for the comp.

excellent dynamic landing pose and wing position. you had nice light too. I wish there was more separation with the BG that is a bit busy. I might try to clone out the band on his right foot
