		| | I almost always take a pic of these birds when we go to the zoo because I think they just look cool but I have yet to come out with one that is even close to having the impact this one has. Great shot. |

		| | I also feel that you were robbed with this image, as it deserved a much higher score..... i don't think these are ugly birds, but a wonderful textured and colorful bird. I really like the play of light and dark, on this image. |

		| | Nice play of light and shadow. A bit more red than I would have expected, but a very eyecatching pic. 8 |

		| | Well, this one is certainly one of the best in the Challenge Wildlife II. The compositon is wonderful, as the title says "peek-a-boo", you created that effect by composition, which is such great. I love the play of light (which also adds to the peek-a-boo effect) and the droplets of water make it realistic and even more detailed. Great job! |

		| | Yowsers! Wonderful capture! I love the the light just gives hints color throughout the wing! |

		| | the shadows and highlights with that overall red color are great in this pic also the waterdrops on the wing add interest
 only the focus is a little bit weird and the wings look noisy
 nice pic though

		| | The bright spot of sunlight is a bit distracting, and too much detail is lost in a very important part of the picture. Like the colours and composition. |

		| | Love this image! The reds are gorgeous. There seems to be a bit of grain on the image but not much to affect your score. 7 subject to bumping. |
