such a sharp shot that could be improved imo by pushing the levels and contrast a little....to lessen the impact of the hot shot as well as to produce richer...more vibrant colors...congrats on being no. 5

That's close! :) Fascinating to see the feather patterns in such detail. Well done.

8 - Nice clarity, detail and strong coloring. Criticism; difficult given you've likely cropped it like this for a reason - and does work like this anyway in my opinion, but perhaps a little tighter at the bottom and looser at the top/more space (depending what you had to work with of course), may have made this even better in my opinion.

WOW!! This is great.. Feel like I could reach and touch those soft feathers.. I have just signed up on this site.. Can't believe no one commented on this.. That is if I am correct on the pages I have looked at.. Give you a 10... Blackdog1

Amazing sharpness and feather and eye detail. Background is a little distracting, but gives a tropical feel. Very nice.
