Nice shot - always good to see an animal in it's natural habitat.

Great catch, MAX!, as I find birds are difficult to photograph. Love the lighting on it and the color of the feathers make a beautiful contrast with the gorgeous green background. Looks like your commenters really liked it!

This little guy is cute! Too bad his foots cut out and he could use a little brightness bump. I see a +30 to +40 bump before any clipping starts and it would also bring out a little more detail in the dark areas. I would have given this a 7 as is but because I think I know whos photo it is I can only give best wishes. Hope it does well for you. Scott

Nice wildlife shot. I like the off centered composition and the vertical lines of the branch and greenery.
