    I've tried unsuccessfully to correct your link, Alfredo. Axel will probably know what to do. I like the look of the bird but the image on Flickr is a little small to comment constructively on. Comp and timing look good and head seems sharp. I like the colours the flowers add.

    I corrected the link. In Flickr, you have to choose the image with the size that you want to post, right-click on it and 'copy image address'. Then paste this address after clicking on the yellow 'insert image' button above the text box.

    What a tail. Thanks to Axel for helping you.

    The bird is a little soft to my eye. It is always helpful to include your camera settings to we can better critique the image and make suggestions.

    Some noise in the background.

    I might be tempted to crop away the left most flower. THe bright yellow really pulls the eye away from the subject. I would also consider cropping in from the right as well, as that space doens't add much to the image, and the birds attention is down on the flower.

    Cheers. Really nice to see this species.

    Great critique by RAndy. I will add that you have two big sensor dust spots, one over the tail and another on the lower left.
    Very good looking bird.
