    Don Jorge! I am glad to see you here and welcome to BPN. The red eye of this beautiful "abejaruco" is killer and the pose and BG fantastic. Well done :)

    Holy smokes what a great first post. I like the deep colors and the nice look back. Some of the feather details look a bit smooth, but with all the color I don't really notice unless I look really hard.

    Big welcome, Jorge! This is an outstanding image. All the tech stuff looks great, and the background, pose and composition are all excellent. The head turn made the perfect head angle for the angle of your light source.

    Wow! This is one killer image. I love the colors, pose, bg, perch, and particularly the lighting.

    We have a lot of these in South Africa. Stunning colours, and a great pose for you. Well captured.
