    Of course they can, you show it here.

    beautifull colors (like pastell shade) and i like it with more shown from the environment.

    Hi Richard

    Love the comp and the pose of the bird.

    Bottom third of image but too busy for me, find it a bit distracting.
    IMHO would remove some of the OOF Cosmos in lower BG, if your ethics permits.

    Love the "feel/emotion" in this image!
    Regards

    Andre.

    Beautiful image. The bird might need an other round of sharpening. Otherwise everything looks good.

    Lovely environmental shot, with good dynamic pose. Now if the flowers had just been facing you......

    Wonderful setting! The pose is excellent and so is the light. Very happy feel to this image. I would also be interested in seeing this shot with a smaller crop. I don't think the bottom part is distracting so far.

    I'm liking this a lot. Super nice flowers, and the BG sets everything off beautifully. I like the landing/gripping pose. There is a subtle paler line along the top edge that I would cover, and only one of the oof flowers bug me...the larger pink one cut in half at right edge. You could also try to tame what appears to be colour noise on the side of the subject. All else is highly appealing to me, really nicely done!
