Alan:

Lovely bird, perfectly exposed, sharp. Pleasent background.

My only wish would be that the white cluster right in front of the bill, wasn't!
It competes too much with the bird for my tastes.

Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful shot! Perfect exposure, and you've caught a nice pose with the presentation of the colourful tail feathers.

[David Gancarz]

Spectacular image! Excellent detail throughout, complementary background colors, and the blossoms shout spring.

[Harold Davis]

it's always a pleasure to view your work, murph. this is no different. love the pose and the spread tail feathers is a nice bonus.

I like the composition. The bird angling down is a nice pose. I agree with Harold that the spread tail feathers is a plus. The background is lovely. Well done and congratulations on a splendid image.

Lovely image - I like the detail in the black plumage and the eye contact.
