    The colours are so nicely reproduced here along with the finer details in the bird. I was out during the weekend trying to capture this. But could not find them. Feels nice to see this beautiful image. The beauty of this bird captures your attention so well that you keep staring at it for a long time. I will come back again.

    Outstanding! The colours, the pose, the light, the BG, the head turn is just terrific too, I might try a wider crop or a vertical one, still, as prsented it looks great! Congratul;aitons!

    Terrific detail and color, nice perch, and pleasing BG. I'd probably go vertical here and I might back off on the sharpening in the breast feathers. Nicely done!

    Lovely pose and good eye contact. Beautiful bird with the colours well rendered.
