Excellent Wally, I like the pose, good eye contact, nice bright colors...:D
Shows the feathers to perfection, Wally. Was a flash set up used? If so, how many?

Great detail in this. Would like to see a flower or part of one in the shot as it just seems to be floating. Just my taste.

Good job on getting the motion stopped, but the eye looks flat and dead to me and the lower parts of the bird look a bit over flashed.
Fantastic capture, sharp and nice BG. I am not sure about the angle of the right wing. Very well done!!
Love the fanned tail and the beautiful gorget Wally! I agree with Jim that it looks a tad overflashed. Thanks for posting!
Stunning flight pose with the fanned tail and excellent detail. It does appear slightly overflashed but a fantastic image and a definite winner.
Great to see the fanned tail and iridescence so well. I'm not sure if it is overflashed but it could go a tad darker.
