Great shot. I like the green background, the bird colors, very sharp and good eye contact. Congrats.

The colours look awesome. The BG is sooper and the bird is beautiful and sharp .

[Loukie Viljoen]

Lee all is well IMO, perhaps a small slice off left, I known you must leave space for bird to look or move into, perhaps just a little too much, regards.L

[Tom Walters]

Veru nice image with a perfect background and great detail. Nice head turn and eye contact. Maybe a tiny sliver off the left might help, im not sure though.

[Stu Bowie]

Well exposed colours Lee, and showing good detail too. I like the pose and HA, and would maybe move him into the frame a tad.

[Gerrie van Vuuren]

Like the head angle & eye contact. Image is sharp with good detail & natural colours. Bird stands out well against the BG. Well done!:)

[Brian Ivener]

Beautiful color, never observed this color on any bird. Excellent sharpness.
Thanks.

[Krijn Trimbos]

A very nice shot Lee. Nice HT, good BG and sharpness. Great use of FF. Would take out the extra catchlight and enhance the natural one. Well done

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Beautiful image and excellent detail and color. I love the rollers and this one has such soft colors compared to the lilac -breasted roller. All has been said above. Many thanks for sharing.

Super image Lee. good exposure and use of flash, with super BG! Just feel its a bit tight on the right side.

Wow, Lee this is brilliant. Great flash work, colours and BG.
