Nice colors and pose, and I like the BG.

Beautiful detail, Neil. I'm not sure about the framing. I think you might want to play with the crop on this, though I'm not sure what would work best. To my eye, it comes across as if you accidentally cut off part of the bird rather than framing it as a purposeful portrait. I'd love to get that close to one of these birds.

Cool! Neat to get so close. I too aren't sure about the composition. It's a tweener...not quite a portrait, not a whole bird. Not sure how you cropped it and if it can take a bigger crop, but I think I might at least try making this a vertical, and a bit tighter.
Not sure though!! Decisions, decisions.
