    I like the way the bird colouration matches with the foothill forest surrounding,this protective colouration also helps in preying insects.
    Thanks for looking,inputs welcome.

    Love the color palette here. Like the rest of the roller family, these guys sure are beautiful. I have seen many of them over the years and always enjoyed it. I agree with Artie that the perch is not great here.

    This bird looks like it has a giant head. Neat looking colors on the bird. Great background.

    Lovely shot of the bird and sweet background. Pity about the perch.

    I would crop a bunch off the bottom of the frame to reduce the impact of the perch. I did a browser scroll to above the cut off branch and it looks better.
    I would then clone out the remaining branch on right.
    Bird and BG look great,
    Gail
