In a very stereotypical way, this shot is almost TOO perfect, it nearly looks fake. But it is an awesome capture of wonderful clarity! 9

Superb capture!! The clarity on the bird is stunning! Lighting is beautiful, composition is beautiful. Can't find a single thing wrong :-) Straight to the top!

Excellent sharply focused capture - the detail inside the beak is amazing - the only possible improvement would be a slightly less central composition - but it remains a great image, well done

Incredible capture. Excellent DOF, POV, clarity. Thats the word that sticks in my head for this image - clarity. The only thing I think could improve this shot is if the bird took a minute to look at you rather than swallowing the flower or whatever he is doing. But that's his fault, not yours! The detail on this is amazing and I can't wait to find out what lens you used. Great job! 8, may bump later.

Great job!!!! I love the way your depth of field makes the bird look so sharp -- almost 3 dimensional. Definitely beautiful.

Very pretty! Love the tones and the DOF. Would have preferred to see the bird not so centrally located in the frame and also the bird's eye color brought out a bit more. Beautiful, nonetheless!
