    Have you seen a more flamboyantly beautiful species?

    Photographed on a property with several feeders close by.
    Quick processing job. I know I should've run a bit of NR.

    All C & C appreciated.
    Thanks

    This is sweet Sidharth, lovely pose and details. Great colors and BG and a nice perch to top it off. I like the small blossoms(?) that are connected by the thin stem, it looks like a Christmas tree ornament.

    This is absolutely superb frame, Sidharth.
    What a lovely bird !!
    Very nice pose with nice HA. Superb colors with great details. I like the diagonal perch, beautiful backdrop and composition.

    Stunning image, Sidharth! Strong composition with the diagonal line. Excellent DOF, sharp where it should be and wonderful feather details. Lovely eye sharpness. Strong colors. What's not to like? Very well done!

    Stunning image of this beauty! Great exposure control, its easy to blow that bright cap on these guys. Everything works together perfectly here.

    This is a beautiful image Sidarth! I totally love it. The bird is spectacular.
    No real issue with noise, but a bit of NR won't hurt. Nicely processed IMO.
    A little more room below, left and above to make it less tight on the three sides would be better for me.

    But this still is very good.
    TFS!

    The color is off the charts, it is striking to open up....
    Love the perch and the IQ on the bird.

    Wow! What a great bird...and the image is no slouch either!
    Great colors and love the little berries strung along the perch.
    I like your comp very much and could see a version with a bit more room all around.

    Hi Sid, these are the most striking colours Ive seen on a bird for a while. Having said that, you have nailed the exposure and sharp detail. Cool pose looking up along the perch, and a smooth clean BG will always improve an image.
