Great compo, Jim, glad you were able to see some pink :)
It seems as if it could go lighter... You can see the breeding green in the head!

I really like the wing position and eye contact,nice work Jim!

[Bill Foxworthy]

Great head on this spoonie Jim. Glad you found some. Being with James had its dividends. Lovely birds and beautiful blues and pinks. A little lighter underneath would probably pay dividends here. Lovely as-is though! I am happy for you!

[Mike Tracy]

I like it but I think you might have left too much negative space on the right. Would like to see the bird a little closer because they are so pretty.

wish both wings are wide spread Jim. Very ncie exposure contol and details.
