    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

    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.
