Excellent presentation of this beautiful bird. A tiny bit off the left side would take him off center. Great colors, light and sharpness.

Wow this is one of those images that just makes you gasp. Super work. If I was being picky i would loose the bud thing in the right of frame this would also position subject off centre. Other than that I just wish I had this image in my files.

Complementing background and beautiful subject. Excellent job.

I would crop ever so slightly off the left just to move the bird off center. Other then that this is an amazing image. Love the details, colors etc. Thank you for sharing.
