    Hi John,

    Love the pose and details. Looks a little bright perhaps curves will help you on that. The food is a HUGE plus.

    Excellent image.

    Hi John!

    I really like this! Sharp bug and sharp colorful bird. Nice background with touch of back light, fill flash isn't even noticed. Diagonals of the tail and the beak all converge on the power point eye. Very nice!

    Well done John, head angle and timing spot on. You really managed to capture the vivid colours of this bird.

    Great catch for both of you. A bit to much flash feel for my liking, dial back a bit and it would be even better imo.
