Love the head angle and plumage. The BG is stunning and sets off the plumes nicely. The UR OOF leaves are a tad distracting to me. (I might consider removing the one OOF limb over the shoulder) I do like the sense of place this image has.

Excellent ambiance and details Fab, wish I had one with breeding colors :D

Beautiful detail in the bird. I'm with Alan on the oof veg. and I might lighten the eye just a tiny bit. It is too beautiful to be dark.

Nice breeding color, not sure if I have any of them this red.
Agree with the OOF over the bird is too big. TFS.
Very nice comp Fabs. Great details.
Fabs,
Beyond sharp..very nice colors and comp.,

Fabs,
I love this as presented - the green off-sets those gorgeous colours so well -and I do not find any of it distracting :)
Best,
Nicki
Great seeing eye, Fabs!! Agree with Alan about the OOF branch. THat BG adds atmosphere.
Troy: Often here in Australia many are much much redder in breeding plumage..wonder as to the cause??
Best regards

Really loved the punk hairdo here, here they are a bit more orange here... Nice done fabs..
Great colours and detail in this bird with exceptional colouring. I agree with the OOF branches and would like more space on the left.
Excellent shot.
