Felicidades por la toma y 9º puesto , espectacular ejemplar y comparto el sentimiento por la zona que se vio afectada por el terremoto, se que muchos de los que aca estamos(en DPC) hemos visitado Waterfall Gardens y las zonas aledañas como esta donde capturaste esta hermosa ave, y tuve la suerte de acompañarte el día que de la toma 6 días antes del terremoto.

LOve the detail and DOF, and colors. He seems to materialize right out of the background. I'd probably blur the branch on the right just a little more to get it to recede visually.

How incredible, lover the closeness of the image and the way the bird leans into the image, focus is spot on

Looks the teeniest bit OOF to me but it's not really noticeable. Brilliant colours and a great shot of this little fella. Good DOF.

I like the almost 3-d effect but it almost seems oversharp yet the beak is slightly blurred. Did you do adjustment of highlights and shadows in the background? Hmmmm - that eye is tack sharp and I love the bright red in combination with all the green. I might crop it so that the diagonal blurred limb is out of the picture and just concentrate on the bird. Hope all this jibberish is helpful. :~)

Nice shot. Love the perspective and how he's perched into the shot.

Wonderfully sharp and a beautiful background, except for that other twig. I think I'd have cropped that out. Beautiful.

Comment by Paul:
There is no doubt this is a great image, but it is so nearly sharp that the eye longs to see perfect clarity at the eye and beak. I think you may have thought so too since the area to the left of the bird betrays some haloing which suggests some attempts to reclaim final clarity in software.

Great colours and composition though - overall, very nice indeed.
