Beautiful. The only complaint that this voter has is the reflection in the eyes. If you could clone it away somehow (beyond my skill level) while leaving the pupil intact, this would be perfect! Awesomely vivid colors.

Great colors and I like the reflection in the eye, could do with just a little more dof.
Focus looks like it's on his beak (is that the correct spelling?) |

| I love the colors in this picture and love the idea of it being so close up. I have two minor complaints: 1) It doesn't seem as sharp as it should be ... perhaps the DoF was too shallow, and 2) I like to see a reflection of light in the eyes (it makes them look alive), but in this case, there is too much light in the eyes and it is actually making it hard to see what should be the most compelling part of the image. In any case, it's still a great image. I hope to see this one up in the top 10. Good luck in the challenge! |

| The colors are outstanding, Clear and very crisp photo. I think it would have been better to not crop ot the top of his head tho |

| Nice portrait, I would add a little more contrast and try to get the eye more in focus. But cool GL |

| I'm sorry, but I feel like you should have found a shot that wasn't so similar to the one you entered into the defining features challenge (I think that was the one). The angle's just slightly different, but the photo is essentiallly the same. Just my opinion. |

| This is a great photograph that shows off what a digital can do with extremely brilliant colors. Too bad the window reflections reveal the captivity of the subject. In a theater that tends to overuse monochome, I find this one very refreshing and well balanced in the cropping too. (8 stars) |

| Where's the top of his head? These guys are so colorful, and you've got the focus, colors, and feather detail nailed. |

| You couldn't find anything better to enter that an almost exact replica of a photo you've already entered? I think all the comments you got on the last one apply here as well. Except that it does't meet the challenge. lol Can't go wrong in a free study, unfortunately I don't see it doing much better in this challenge than it did the last. I think your lighting was very bad for this shot, and that hurt it a lot. The only improvement I see in this one over the last is that it's not cropped so tightly to the beak. |

| This is a really lovely subject. I like the depth of field used here and the expression. The colours are also really beautiful and definitely "pop". if you're doingsomething like this in the future, I find portraits like this usually (not always) benefit from a bit more negative (blank) space to the side of the subejct (in this case to the right side). Using a rule of third approach (subject to 1/3 of the image) usually balances out the composition and makes the subject stand out (plus, studies show the rule of thirds is the most visually appealing. It isn't a steadfast rule... but would apply nicely in this situation. Your eye wants to move a bit toward the direction where the bird is moving and it's limited with this crop. Just some advice - a good image overall though. |

| Nice sharp details of the feathers and beak. Contrast seems a bit flat or maybe feathers under the beak are really that light. |

| Very nice color. The DOF seems just a bit too tight, blurring already just beyond the eye. Also, the placement of the catchlight in the eye causes a problem for me. I realize it may be hard to get the bird in the perfect position right down to the catchlights, so this isn't meant really as criticism - more as explanation of my experience with the photo. 6, just-married |
