    Chris:

    Very colorful, sharp,excellent exposure, pose, BG.

    The perch is a bit busy, but the bird is a stunner.

    For personal taste, I might go 1/4 stop darker, but it is lovely as posted.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Hey Chris, how come you always manage to get these guys in the open. Good head on capture with good DOF. Colours look spot on, sharp, and posed against a smooth BG.

    Happy New Year to you too.

    Super sharp, and the colors are just incredible. I'd like to see a bit more of a profile view of the head. And I'd move the bird slightly to the right of the frame.

    Awesome colors and sharpness. Agree that the bird could be moved over to the right if the perch looks okay doing it.

    What a beautiful species... I loved the colors on the bird. I agree with Dough on the composition.
