Love the pose, details and spot on EXP. Beautiful canvas overall. TFS

This is really cool Dan, with the red flowers tying in. Good detail in the blacks and reds, sharp eyes and beak.

It's maybe a wee bit tight on top? Small little dot above the right flower could use stamped.

EDIT: bird looks noisy to me on new monitor

Great BG and wing position.
Agree with Brian on evicting the dot above the flower.
I do see a bit of noise under the tail but would not have noticed it had Brian not mentioned it.
I do see a hint of purple in the blacks though- easy fix.
Nice image,
Gail

Good looking takeoff pose. Some minor nits noted above, but a handsome frame.

[John Mack]

Perfect timing. Maybe a touch more room above. The background is quite nice.

Lovely pose, I like the dynamic pose and the display of the red. sharp. Agree there is a tiny bit of noise on the tail and wings but nothing NI cannot take care of.

I agree with the critiques but boy oh boy that is a nice full upwards wing-stroke on the take-off.
