I like this a lot. Only suggestion would be to play a bit with the color cast. This does seem to have the infamous magenta cast....or may be its the bird. I have never seen it.

I know you know it...but the head angle is perfect :-)

Killer sunlit BG that showcases the bird very nicely. The diagonal perch leads the eye to the bird. If there's a cast, it's only in the bird because the BG is clean and no magenta there.

Lovely pose indeed. I rarely see an image of this often overlooked bird but I also wonder about the colour of the feathers. I must have a closer look at the local ones.

Lovely pose, perch, and HA. Looks like the BG was in the sun, but the bird was in the shade. I would tonedown the BG a bit.

[Stu Bowie]

Super comp and pose, with sharp detail. I agree, toning down the BG will work.

Lovely pose and HA Manos. Like suggestions on bg which will enhance even more. WD!
