Hey Haim, so good to see you, long time no see :(

This is spectacular the side light is so becoming and the action is at the precise moment. I've never seen the bird, are the colors really that beautiful?

BG is great, only wish for a more subtle perch.

love the sidelight here, haim. usually not a fan of it, but i think it works well here. beautiful bird and nice action!!

[Jory Griesman]

Good exposure and sharp. Like the background, and its colours kind of subtly blend with those of the bird. Best of all, the bird is eating...a bee!

Not only a spectacular bird in sweet light but having a snack !!! Agree with Fabs on the perch, love the side light and complementing bg !!! So nice to see you posting Haim !!!

Beautiful bird and BG. Ditto the perch comments. With this side of the face in shadows I'm finding the eye looking somewhat unnatural in its brightness and glow...was some work done on it, or some stray light hitting it?

Thank you all for your comments.
The color are really natural. I did some level and brightness, and believe me the eye is natural too.
Sorry about the perch.

great pose comp and bg. Eye for me looks unnatural and the colours 2. I think you maybe saturated to much. Still well done on this
