Stunning colors and very well seen. Love the inclusion of just enough bg detail to add context and interest. Composition could be enhanced with some of the bottom removed and some off the left and top to move the OC off centre. Nailed the exposure as can see good details in the blacks. Very well done.

This is a bird very nice because the red on the black make it very interesting; it is not very easy find in South Africa west coast.
Ok for the crop.

I like the wide crop, soft light and BG. I might put the bird a bit further to the left in the frame and wish he were angled toward us.
