    Great take off pose, details and eye contact. I would increase the contrast a few points and/or change the black point a bit. Thanks for sharing!

    Very beautiful pose..extremely sharp and detailed. The bird really pop out against this background. Somehow I get a feeling that the bottom is a little tight...that's just me. :)

    It is probably just a tad tight on the bottom and adding a little contrast might help although the males all seem to have differing degrees of coloration. Wonderful timing, exposure, and on the monet sharp.

    Wonderful take-off view. I think he looks good as is. I love the BG......blurred enough not to distract yet enough detail that I can visualize the habitat. Maybe a bit tight on the bottom.....but then my eye isn't really drawn there. Well done.

    I can't think of much to add that hasn't already been said, but I really like this photo David!

    Excellent pose and colors, David, great definition, only wish for a little more at bottom if you have it!

    Great dynamic pose David. More space at the bottom would be interesting to see.

    Sweet image, Dave. I love the pose, light, exposure and BG. The bottom right corner is a little tight though...

    WOW!!! on sharpness and posture. I would prefer slightly more contrast and a bit more room on the right.
