    Beautiful frame here. Excellent background. Sure is some sweet light. Pose on the bird is nice as well as the detail.

    Nice Jon! Beautiful bird and Stu's light is lovely! Cane we have some over here please? I might be tempted to darker the lower right corner but otherwise all good

    Hi Jon, excellent! love the light and the greens and the beautiful colors on the bird, well done. I didnt realize the roller has such a short tail.

    Nice details, nice perch and nice background. Being super picky I do wish the back of the bird was not obscured by the foliage. I know we go back and forth on this all the time but colors look a little thin to me.

    Hi Jon, lovely capture, techs for me are spot on and overall I like the overall colour palette. Personally I would blend out the yellow OOF foliage bottom RHC, so you have a more continuity. Colours look rich, but if you have used 'vibrance' then back it off as I feel it's adding too much yellow into the capture. Has the appearance of early morning to me?
