    Well done! The foliage perfectly frames the bird, which is nice and sharp. There are a few dark spots on the face- too dark in my opinion. It also might take a little sharpening around the eye, and a bit cropped off the top.

    Great stuff!

    Great pose, perch, sharpness and species. Beautiful composition. There does appear to be some blocked blacks just in front of the eye. Hope to see these birds one day, TFS!

    Nice pose and BG I think a little fill flash to open up the blacks under the eye and beak would have helped.

    I liked the pose here. Agree with points mentioned above. Only a small observation, there seems to be something very un-natural about the perch. It seems to be accidentally suspended(??)
