    Alan:

    That is a seriously red bird. Sharp,nice HA,pleasant BG. I might be tempted to crop in from the right and up from the bottom a bit, but very nice as is. The reds are right on the edge, but it displays well.

    Great shot. Wonderful BG. The colors are fantastic. The red is a perfect match for the green BG.

    What a beauty. I agree that the reds are well handled and yet very vibrant! I, too, would crop from the bottom (right above the bloom that sits beneath your name) and possibly add to the canvas at the top.

    Impressing beauty, the red bird! The image pleases me a lot and I personally would not crop the image anymore.
    Nice sharpness and fine composicion!

    greetings,

    Alan, great image, the reds are brilliant and intense as it is characteristic with this species, I would prefer the bird placed to the right since it is looking to the other side.

    Really nice job on the red here Alan, I find it a bit busy in the lower part of the frame but still a killer image none the less

    You can see by the pose, him listening to your recording. Vibrant reds, well handled, and this is really sharp. Comp wise, I would maybe take a bit off the RHS.

    Wonderful shot Alan. Pretty good a sis but feel can be strengthened by cropping as suggested.

    Wonderful colours Allan. Like the way you have added flowers into the frame. They go very well with the bright red.
