Another awesome shot Angela. Nice exposure, lighting and detail. I like the red through out this Martin.

Your larger version shows tremendous detail. Those eyes look like it's got a bad hangover! Nice pose and I like the inclusion of the greens. Sharon

The bird looks very good Angela and I actually like the shadows on the tail for interests sake. You did everything you could to get the greenery sharp and I like the blues in the background.
