the hard thing about shoot birds is you really don't know what type of bird it is which is what makes this bird extraordinary??? nice DOF, good centering and great color.

I pulled the picture and cropped it tighter on the right side, and it really makes it look a lot better, draws the focus in to the eye. As it is, there is too much green that is busy which takes away from the fabulous bird.

I think during these events they should take that blue fencing down lol, but the actual part that you were concentrating on is inspiring!

The blue temporary fence in the background is distracting. I hate those things; they always end up in my viewfinder too. One option to address that issue and improve on the composition would be to get down lower and zoom in on the face of the gentleman in the foreground. This subject matter has some good potential, and getting "in close" would focus attention.

I like the authentic indian sweatshirt and sunglasses. Nice picture too. It would be better if you got that blue fence out of there too.

The blue fence is a bit distracting. Great colors esp. reds.
