    Wonderful bird and colors. The only thing that bugs me is the merge of the tip of the open bill with the moss on the perch.

    Don:

    Excellent exposure, so easy to overdo the yellows on these fellows. Colors of these guys are spectacular. I can almost hear him squawking!

    Cheers

    Killer image. Love all the vibrant colors, the BG and the open bill.

    Beautiful colors, perch and BG. I would rather see more room at the top instead of the bottom.

    Brilliant bird beautifully handled. The colours are just lovely. It must be a real pleasure to see and photograph these exotic birds. TFS. Agree with Arthur that it is a pity there is no separation between the tip of the bill and the moss.

    Wonderful image buddy, I can see the merge with the moss being a slight issue but a few clicks with the clone tool will fix that.
