Nice shot, but the desaturation of the bird just doesn't look good.

Wow, what a superb capture, well done. One of the few flower shots I've felt able to vote on! Excellent focus and timing. If I had constructive criticism it would be the lack of tones throughout, it's predominantly mid grey and little else, although the all important beak and eye have saved the day. You should do well.

I like the shot, but not sure if I like the flowers in color.

Beautiful! I might suggest adding a little more contrast, but otherwise this is a nice shot.

nice shot. Could be much better if the bird was completely colored.
