Grand colours on this one Gary. Like the vegetation and a hint of growth in the backdrop too..

A great looking individual with bold patterns and colours. I like the feeding posture. Well exposed, good details. I'm not liking the funky stuff in front of the bill, and there is a small gap in lower left corner (image rotation perhaps?). Your previous image of this fella is pretty darn tough to top...

[gary ellwein]

John and Daniel, thanks for the look and positive comments. Daniel, the redo includes corrections to the flaws noted in the original image.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Gorgeous colours and great pose, a small amount of noise is evident on the greens/greys on the LHS but nothing much to worry about.

[Daniel Cadieux]

It does look better...but still a bigger fan of your excellent previous image
