    Nice pose and lovely feather details, Chris. I would be tempted to darken down the lighter areas of the perch a little. I am on a bad monitor at work so am hesitant to comment too much on tonal issues but wonder if a slight contrast boost would be worth trying.

    Beautiful. Rollers are excellent subjects. Loved the colors, light, exposure and the depth of field. Did you use flash for this? Details are awesome.

    Good-looking specimen, angle, sharpness, BG and head angle. The perch may be a bit large but not much you could have done about it. I assume it's not a set-up perch, right?

    Super pose Chris, and I like the light and colours. Killer BG, and well captured.
