Bright, clean, colorful, nice action and head position. Nothing I don't like. Well shot!

[Rob Palmer]

Super shot. Love the different pose. Too bad he closed the membrane just a little but still a wonderful shot.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Awesome action you captured Jeroen and your timing was perfect. The lighting is lovely too with excellent detail. Like it a lot and many thanks for sharing.

[Ramon M. Casares]

No nits at all, the best about this shot to me is the perch, compo and light, BG and colors, pose and sharpness are OUTSTANDING! Big congratulations!

Beautiful in every respect as already mentioned many times. So stunning I just said WOW when I saw it. Very, very well done.

[Gus Cobos]

Great capture, pose and action...This little guy has attitude...:eek: The details and colors are very pleasing...:D

[Linda Robbins]

This bird has quite the temper! Great threat display pose and beautiful BG. Very photogenic perch. Perhaps just a bit tight in the frame, but this is a lovely image.

[Raymond Barlow]

another killer shot, well done!

[Ed Cordes]

Man, what did you do to upset him?? Great image with good detail where it counts and the blrred wings give a sense of action.

[Glenn Bartley]

What a pose! Awesome stuff.

[Brutus Ostling]

I love this type of portraits where you can feel some individuality in the bird. This one is great.

Great behavior and character captured here. The color and sharpness is brilliant too!
