    Excellent image in beautiful lights. Very nice pose with partially spread wings and upwards beak.
    Wonderful colors in the frame. BG colors nicely complimenting with birds. Superb composition.Love the great details.
    If mine ,would either toned down or remove the bright thin branch on RHS behind the branch.

    Regards,
    Satish.

    The light is beautiful! And the BG really nice.
    Love the pose and the neck and head position.
    I didn't notice the branch that Satish mentioned initially but once I read his comments I agree that the branch could go!

    I'm OK with the branch there, but I would not wish for one there if it were not. Sweet light, nice pose with a perfect head angle. Excellent BG. Some of the blacks on the back seem blocked - not sure if you can recover some details in there. Well done overall!

    Nice pose. Lovely light and detail on the wings. I like the way the head is held erect. He/she looks pleased with him/her self. Agree with Satish about the small branch, it tends to draw the eye a bit.
    Nice capture.

    Beautiful warm light and I love the bird's breeding plumage. Composition works very well imo...the lay of the land certainly worked in your favor with that richly colored, distant background to set the bird off...

    Beautiful light, I was there last week and did not get this angle or night. :)
    Good job.

    A stunning portrait in great light, Frank. I wish we had had a chance to meet while you were here. Maybe next time?
