I like this a whole lot. I wish the bird was looking forward and not away, but the bg is really nice as is the light. Super sharp too.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great details, BG and raised crest. I normally prefer a different head angle but I like the attentive look here. It might also work as vertical.

[Robert O'Toole]

Like the crest, the rock, the BG, the sharpness is great also but I wish the HA was better.

The little dark pebble on the rock looks a little out of place, the edges look too sharp. is that a repair or just me?

Hi Freddy,
i like the look here!............like he's eyeing something up. Anyway you crop it...I like it!

[Bonnie Block]

Cool! Love the perch and striking colors of this bird. Wish it might have turned its head a bit, but it is still interesting as presented.

Robert what you see is on the rock is spalding. the rock was starting to crumble. also this was a workshop and there was feed being placed on top the rocks

Beautiful image. The sharpness and details are fantastic.
I like the lovely bg.

You are on some roll lately, Freddy! Just fantastic!

[Steve Canuel]

Excellent color and detail. I don't mind the head angle on this one as it makes me curious about what he's looking at. Not a big fan of verticals but I might go that route on this one with the rock serving as an anchor across the bottom.
