Very beautiful bird with nice colours, very sharp as posted. Good comp, and a perfect BG. The perch is, well, sorta ugly:o. I realize it was probably just fluttering the wings but I would prefer to see either a calm pose, or a higher raised wing. Techs look good.

ditto Daniel on the perch but a great image with lovely colours and detail:):)

Hi Mitel. A new bird for me. Great detail and head angle, and beautiful background. Love the open beak. Too bad about the perch.

Mital, I like the colors and the sharpness on this one. A natural perch would have made it even better.

thats what nature friends. hope could have allowed to spend days in field to get such frames :)

Love the sharpness on the head and the open beak, light seems a bit harsh, and angle seems to cast shadow on the body under wing. Perch has been mentioned.
