The name is OK:) Usually the 2nd word in hyphenated name is with lower case letter.
White-necked...

I love the eye here, the iridescence is excellently captured,
just great bird. I would not go so tight top and bottom. Even vertical crop would be better here IMO
or the bird placed in 4th. That way a bit of noise that you have on the bird would be hard to spot too I think.
In any case I think the crisp look of the bird is great. Like it very much.

Gary, Beautiful capture here and wonderful colors. I agree with Ilija on the comp and I'm not to crazy about the perch, a little on the big side and too bright. All in all a very nice image.

Lovely iridescence, and I like the colours on him too. I can see a fair bit of noise on the wings, and I would try and lighten the eye.

Lovely species, soft light, detail, colors and BG. I am not a fan of when the perch goes behinf the bird and some NR could help her IMO.
But congratulations though. lovely image.
