It is a joy to look at this picture. Nice pose, composition and colours. Love it!!!

[Mike Tracy]

Cute little fella. I like the light, detail, exposure,background and the green mossy stuff. Might toy with toning down the bright spot on the beak

[Mike Lentz]

Nice overall tones and tack sharp! I might add more room (not much) all around the image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

What a beautiful bird! I like the pose, the perch (I love the moss on it), and the colour of the BG. I agree with Mike about toning down the bright spot on the bill - and to a lesser degree on the legs/feet too. I would also even out the faint vertical streaks in the BG above the tail. Excellent colours throughout, and oh so sharp.

[Kim Rollins]

In addition to what has been said about the spot on beak and bg I believe that because this one seems to be exposed to the left a bit that I would try a bit of play to make it pop some more.
Maybe slight vibrance and levels adjustments.

Nice capture.

Quite nice Alexander, love the detail and colours, I would agree with Daniel regarding the vertical stripes and with Kim regarding the levels adjustment.

This is very well executed Alexander. Lovely, looks almost like a set-up in a studio with an added background. It is really appealing to me. I would perhaps lighten the eye a little and crop above the head by a third. I love the pose and the plumage is immaculate. Did you use a hide?

[DanWalters]

Nice clean image. The color of the background is especially nice. Almost matches the bird.

[Mark Dumbleton]

Stunning! Lovely colours, BG and exposure. Just feel it needs a tad more space, and also another vote here for the removal of the stripes above the tail.

All-round fine image.
