Very attractive photo, Ivan.
I like the dark treatment and BG.
I would clone out the seed out of the beak.

The reds are stunning. I love it. The detail in this image makes me want to look at it over and over again. Was it the new 100-400 or the old one?
The seed also got my attention, so I guess I would agree with Dan's suggestion to clone it out.

Hi Ivan
We certainly get thwarted by reds like this over here !! I don't know these birds on hand, but looks OK to me. Looks lke you will have soe good hols coming up !!
Love the backdrop by the way ! Never noticed the seed ! They certainly are not very big !
Cheers
John

Nice detail and BG. Some fill flash to open the shadows would help. A less tight crop and a slight head turn would improve the image too IMO.

Magnificent image. Nice pose with beautiful crest. Superb details and exposure on reds.
I would lighten the eye. I tried.It looks nice.

Thanks folks, for info it is the old 100-400 .

Nice work Ivan. A bit of lightening up of the shadows will improve the image and a tad more space around.
I have had the opportunity to use Ivan's 100-400 lens. It is blisteringly sharp even wide open at 400mm.

I love the composition and the rich colours. I like Alan's idea of fill-flash, and I also agree with a better head turn towards us. Still a fine image, and I'm glad you enjoyed the birds from this side of the pond!

Super shot Ivan, just having the presence of mind... a little fill in would have been magic but nevertheless a great shot as is.
