Hi Stuart, stunning bird, interesting perch and well captured. If anything I would be tempted to take a little off the right and add a bit to the top... TFS

Those colors are crazy! Love the perch, I agree with adding a little bit of canvas to the top.

What an incredibly striking bird! Crazy colors! You must be really happy with this shot. Did you encounter this lovely bird in Costa Rica? Pose and HA are very nice. The blacks seem a little blocked but the is wonderful feather details in the rest of the bird. I do like the diagonal perch but would take some off the bottom.

I'm fine with the composition , agree the blacks are a bit strong but the rest of the colours are super, great pose from the bird.

Hi Stuart ..what a lovely colorful little bird .Superb BG and i am fine with the comp too.
Just the blacks are way too heavy fro my liking , but could be personal preference .
Just watch out that you have not an embedded color profile within the frame , better to do that , cause then we all can see the same colors .

I like the look back pose, perch, tropical plants and BG. I agree that the blacks are a bit blocked. Great series Stuart!

A stunning bird and setting. I'd ease the blacks and put a slither more canvas on top. Nice work Stuart.
