Poor guy. I can't decide if I like the shadows of the cage or not. On one hand, the made me very sad for him. But on the other hand, they give the image an emotional edge that it might not otherwise have.

Beautiful bird and great vivid colors.

The underexposure really brings out the colors and the detail in the white.

Ouch, cracked beak.

The colors are bright, but the picture seems too tight - it's very distrubing to see so little of the bird at that particular point.

The colors are stunning and is a great choice for this challenge.
Shame the shadows are on the Toucan's bill. A liitle cleanup, sharpening and cloning
would have made this shot pop off the page !(darn open challenges..)
Looks very similar to the March free study entry - was (and still) in my favorites.
Good choice - ((7))

This is a great photo. The colors are so vivid and it is nice to see something other than a sign in this challenge. Excellent Job!

Man, this looks almost like a shot submitted a little while back. Nice colours. A bit blown out on the upper part of the beak though.
