Stunning image Jim with a killer BG and beautiful lighting Outstanding eye contact and the blurred wings gives a great sense of action and speed. Congratulations on such superb timing and capture.

Nice details on the face, blurred wings adds to this and the Bg puts this over the top.. congrats..

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Eye contact and the tongue make this one for me. I also like the BG and fanned tail and only wish for a little less wing blur.

Beautiful eye contact , tounge and killer BG , blurred wings adds for me but I wish they were less blurred
Nevertheless , an image I wish to be in my files :)

Like the posture, eye contact & BG. Exposure is spot-on & wing blur hightens sense of movement. Great image!:)

[Dan Busby]

Great eye, beak, tongue. I don't mind the blurred wings. Great BG but, if mine, would try to tone down the bright greens to make the bird stand out just a bit more.

[Glenn Bartley]

Great BG and a very pleasing wing blur. Nice one!

[Keith Bauer]

Wing blur is great on this. Gives a nice sense of motion. Nice sharpness where you need it and the BG adds to the overall image

[John Blumenkamp]

Great work Jim... I really like the contrast between sharp head/eye and the blurred wings. Really like the position and overall composition too. Congrats.
