Little bit going on in this image but really like the subject and the overhaul colouration to it.
Bird is nice and sharp and it illustrates well how that tail is used as a prop.

Nicely different to the classic tree trunk shot; I like it. The beakful adds interest too.

That is a pretty sweet shot! Love the feather detail.

Great subject angle Phil - love it
Not overly keen on the twiggy bits but that's just me

Lovely shot, so much detail on the feathers, and the beakfull really makes it. The only nit/suggestion for me would be a slight head turn would benefit, but there's not a lot you could of done there!
