    Thanaboon, good calling pose, and I like the HA. Good sharpness and colours, and good choice of comp. Maybe just a bit tight in the LRC.

    Sharp with good detail. Looks ver similar to the Aussie Raibow bea-eater.

    Awesome details, and the colours are quite spectacular. Love the pose too. Nice thin perch, and the green marbled BG is also of a high quality. Perhaps a bit tight, but great image overall.

    Stunning shot. A lot of my friends in Malaysia got shots of this pretty bird in Penang. I can't wait to go home and get some myself.
    Agree with Daniel about a bit tight. Love it!
