    Stunning colours and nice head turn, Richard.
    The red coloured leaf right behind the head was somewhat misleading.
    First I thought it was somehow part of the bird. But now I like it the way it is.

    I thought that the leaf by the head was a piece of fruit. Or cheese. I find it very distracting. I like the colors and the bird but the shiny leaves detract as does the harsh light. And with the light somewhat from the right and the head turned toward us the chin of the bird is in shadow.....
