Awesome image Dumay! Great light, colours, shooting angle, BG, eye contact - excellent!
The details, Pose, BG color scheme, Sharpness, Exposure, HA almost everything is perfect...
Love the warm tones. Nicely composed image...I like the shape of the perch.

super pose and great light + BG. IQ is great as usual.

I enjoy these guys and when you get them in the open like this, you normally come away with a winner - as you have. Good sharp detail, and pops nicely against the BG. Well captured mate.
Hight on my list !! Great exposure and light. Subject is sharp and the colours is exposed to perfection. A super IMG !!!!!!
What a treat! A new bird for me, and photographed so well. All the details are there, the light could scarcely be better, and the angle is perfect! The bird is looking our way, which suggests he may have noticed you. Where were you? On the ground? In a car? In a hide?

Excellent overall. Very pleasing image!
Great pose, nice complomenting background.
Not much to critique on this one Dumay, geat work, maybe a little better body turn would have been nice, but at least you have the head turned.
Thanks for the comments folks!
