The colors on this bird are glorious. Love the flight pose with the headturn too. Great light. All around excellent image.

Detail and color are just stunning. I see you added +1/3 to the exposure; good call. Nothing to critique. Must settle for enjoying a superb image.

A very common subject here in the Uk but i haven't seen a better image of it's type. The uniformity and sharpness of the feather detail is excellent.
