    Haim:

    Very attractive fellow, nice angle in frame,sharp.

    The long tail makes framing a bit of a challenge. In a perfect world, I would like a bit more room to the left, but realize this if full frame.
    I might also tone down the brighter sticks in the BG in front of his abdomen.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Haim, perfect colours captured here, and agree adding some more space to the left will work. It shouldnt be too much trouble to do that with your existing BG.

    Agreed re background, I would also add a little head room. Super colours and detail in the bird.

    Really nice shot, love the subject. I would agree with the others in a little space both top and left would feel a bit more comfortable. Nice colors and exposure!

    Hey Haim,
    As the tight crop guy.....I'm fine with it as is....although I do see the point with more room left, so if it fits in your ethics.....go for it! Colors are outstanding and right on......agree with Randy on the toning down.....but all easy tweaks to a very nice image!

    Beautiful colors of course - and great sharpness - but too tight IMO. JR

    Lovely color display a little space in the left would have been great but as u say its a FF doesn't matter.

    I do not want to be a "spoilsport" but IMHO the colours here are far to rich in particular the blues, I know that Lilac Breasted Rollers are extremely colourful, but to me this looks slightly unnatural.

    Maybe just the light?
