Nice shot. One of my favorite birds.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice looking bird, Like the BG, pose and light. I would have give this a 3:2 crop.

Wheeler:

THey are beautiful birds. Sharp, well exposed, a bit tight in the frame for my tastes. I would use a light clone stamp and tone down the bright OOF highlight in RLC

Cheers

Great BG, well exposed and nice lighting. I would have prefer more room to the right.

They are one of my spring favorites too, but don't get them in my yard. Beautiful uniform BG and I like the pose despite the head being slightly tilted away. I'd try to lighten the the belly and undertail coverts and while at it remove the green cast under there (once lightened you can try to selectively desaturate with the sponge tool).

Beautiful and colorful image. Sharp and well composed.
