Nice fresh & intimate study of this bird. Just incredible detail. This is about the closest I've seen an image look just like the real thing. Obviously your exposure was spot on. Send us more.

A very strong image in so many ways. Color, detail and setting are wonderful. However, my eye wants more room vertically, especially for the virtual feet.

Great detail and color. The yellow flower on the right balances the image. Very fine image.

Very nice Angela, love the setting - its a nice image of a RE, but the lush green leaves and the yellow flower put this one on the top shelf.

Wonderful detail through out the image and I like the complimentary background as well, nice job in getting this from a boat.

Wonderful pose and colours - I agree a little more room on the bottom, if opossible, would be great.
Congratrs on the WP - glad you're posting again.

Remarkable detail on this one, I love boats for all images provided they do not wobble about too much
