Lovely pose, and like the colours on him. I also like your clear BG Chris.

Nice pose, great BG, colors, light, detail and vertical comp, I think another round of USM would help a bit. Congratulations!

Lovely soft light, colours and BG - agree on a touch more sharpening to optimise for web presentation. Good use of flash, Chris.

Pretty bird, good eye contact and BG. Another vote for more sharpening and I would give it more room. Is this a heavy crop?

Thanks for sharing this one!

Lovely bird and compo. Colors work great here. One more vote for more room all around, but not too much.

Lovelry bird, perch, and BKGR. Assuming that I am looking at the original post the breast feathers look a bit over-sharpened to me....
