Awesome! The ruby glow on those feathers is really beautiful and I love how he fills the frame.

If I had adorable little birds like this outside of my office window I would never get any work done!

Incredible focus on the head/eye with such a shallow dof. The movement of the wings and tail adds to the image. Its shots like this that make me glad I found DPC.

Great shot! I'm sure a lot of effort was put into this! Great focus - and the movement in the wings/tail is very good! I'm not a big fan of the green element of the frame, though. It doesn't stand out well from the green background. And, being a big nitpicker, I just wish I could see the full wing in the lower left. NOT a big deal, though. GREAT WORK!

Great capture - I am sure that was not easy to get. Beautiful feathers under his chin (if birds have chins - but I am sure you get what I mean!) Great job!
