    Marc,

    First thing to say thank goodness a Lilac Breasted Roller with natural colours!

    Great detail and very nice light, if I was to be picky the BG is not the best, not that it botheres me!

    Hi Marc, super pose, and I like how the tail follows the perch. Good HA, and agree colours look spot on. As Ken stated, some seem to overdo it with these multi coloured birds, but you certainly nailed it overall. I would maybe try and blend away the darker line in the BG infront of the beak.

    Marc, that is a stunning bird!:cool: Lovely details and composition. The dark area near the beak is somewhat distracting.

    Nicely done Marc. Good HA, colors and a little bit of polishing on the bg will nail for sure.
