Beautiful golden light, nice head turn, and I love the fluffed-up feathers.

Lovely looking image Geoffrey. I love the lighting, which gives great colours on the bird and the BG. The browns on the bird look great against the greens. Nice one

The comp. killer light and color palette hit all the right notes for me.
Lovely image,

What lovely colors! Wonderful sharpness and perfect DOF to soften some of the leaves without making them look out of place.

Killer light and a beautiful setting. I like how natural it looks without being too obtrusive. Beautiful BG to go along. I surely wouldn't have been able to ID this bird without help. Nicely done.

Just wow. Great bird, light, comp, and habitat! Would love to have this one in my files.

Thanks everyone.
