A real beauty Andy., might be worth toning down the side plumage under the primaries, it's a little distracting.

Hi Andy,
I love it! What a find let alone having the privilege of photographing it!

Thanks for the comments and advice chaps, how would I go about toning down the said part of the image in CS2 ? I'm still a novice when it comes to PS

Nice shot Andy,
The light is working just right here, very pretty little bird, the iron/metal/rusty thing he's sat on gives a slightly different to feel to most of these shots.

Another nice one Andy. Colours work great here. Sorry don't have the full version of photoshop so not sure either how to do that editing
