Nice clear shot of a beautiful bird Daniel! The needle-like leaves nicely complement the bird's feather patterns!

Awesome feather detail, nice contrasting & complementary environs. Great techs and technique as usual. TFS.

Upon viewing thought the same Xmas theme as well Daniel, very nice, and it's that habitat & framing that really makes this for me, well done.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed, love the plumage fine detail, the pine needles seem to be ideally suited, all colours well balanced, a very pleasing shot.
