I love the splashes of color that are splattered about the white bird. They look like floating spots. Very pretty!

Nice shot apart from the border, that colour is horrible and quite a distraction.

I would prefer the composition a bit different - with the bird off to one side more.

Nice capture. Absolutely do not like the border. Little bokeh action happening. Good Luck. 5.

really nice image ... DOF is great ... the colors are saturated perfectly .. the border is slightly distracting to me though ...

I like the shot however the border is a really big distraction for me. The shot is a bit noisy however I imagine you were using a fairly long lens so that's understandable.

The border really detracts from this one.

intersting shot. I don't care for the border but the colors int he shot are great. I would rather not have the bokeh in front of the neck though.
