    This is superb, love the colour from the warm light and the feather detail, pin sharp too.
    Looks like you have a great drinking pool set up.

    Very nice work.

    Javier, sorry to be vague but I just love this image. I couldn't leave without saying! Uhmm! what I like about it? Everything. I think is almost perfect! Just one minor thing, on my screen, on the lower left corner I see a circle. Could be the lens. maybe it would be wise to clone it. congratulations!

    Que belleza Javier!
    Parece de mentirillas! me refiero a los detalles que son tan nitidos, mira, tengo una pregunta, que tan grande es este pajaro? en CR tenemos parientes de este amigo y son muy pequenos, tal vez unos 10cm.
    Great job, sharpness, saturation and eye contact.

    Great flashwork, and amazing colours captured in this. This is pin sharp, and love the low angle. Congrats on a superb image.

    Lovely low angle, colours, sharpness and BG. Feel like I would prefer more room above and to the right to prevent the water line bisecting the image. Agree with Rene' re the pale spot low left. Well captured.

    Wow. This is one of those images that makes me gasp when it opens. Great light, sharpness, and reflection. I do however, have one substantive suggestion for improvement: I believe that more buff above the bird (add canvas top or use a different crop if possible for more room at the top) would yield a stronger image. Why? The green reflections are so beautiful that they drag the viewer's eye down resulting in a bottom heavy visual image. More room above the bird would balance that. IMHO.
