    They are commonplace birds, but can be striking; and you've illustrated that beautifully. Great light, singing pose, perch, detail and stunning background. Nicely done.

    Beautiful frame, showing the Starling at its best. Lovely light on the bird, bringing out some great colours. Killer BG and the perch ain't too bad either. Very nice.

    Another fantastic image. It is always a treat when you can show a common bird and make it look exceptional. Pose, light, background, image quality are just great. Congrats.

    Just stunning colour and detail.
    Common Starlings are considered a pest in Australia, but I still love their gorgeous sheen.
    You've captured a wonderful image here!

    Lovely image. Everything comes together with this photo of bird that, as others have said, is considered a pest in most parts of the world. Again, LOVELY!

    Nice work, Sasan. Love the image, techs look spot on. The green sheen on the bird shows well in this light. Background lovely with the pastel hues. Thank you for sharing.

    Everyone else has said it: exceptionally nice shot, Sasan. Gorgeous bird in wonderful light. Great background. Excellent tone, colour and detail. Lovely framing and composition.

    Ditto all the positives above. If you were gonna print this and if it fits with your personal processing ethics you might wish to open the bird's eye a bit with a warped Quick Mask ... It is squinting just a bit to much for me :)
