Great catch, I love the detail, and the bg is really nice! Very smooth colors...
My only nit, I think I can see a slight halo on the back of the bird...
Otherwise, good capture!

Wondeful composition, the larger image looks great with good detail and I really like the background color, well done.

Techs look very good antino and a nice simple composition that suits the bird. You handled what appears to be harsh lighting very well. Interesting how the spot of green in the background just appears behind the head - way to go.

Beautiful sharp image Antonio,a very slight headturn more towards the camera would have beena bonus .But one gets what nature will give us .
