Nicely framed. That blue eye really hits the viewer.

Excellent close-up of this bird. Colors and focus are perfect.

Really pretty. Yes, advanced editing, but it looks a little over manipulated to me.

I love the colours and smooth textures. Some might complain about the tip of the beak being cropped off, but I like it, it gets you cloer in on the details. [10]

Cool shot... the NR or blur in the photo gives it a dreamy quality with all the bright colors. Interesting composition, too.

A little soft for my taste, but the dramatic colors are wonderful. Excellent work. 8

Superb colors and contrast. It looks just a little out of focus, but somehow, it doesn't seem to matter in this case. A beauty!

IMO, might have been better if you included all of his bill.

back up, I need to see the whole bill, that's what tocans are all about.

Not sure what it is but this has a 'look' to it - fuzzy or out of focus or over processed. Would have liked it better as well if the whole beak was in the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot... just wiish you got the entire beak was in frame. The softness of the image is really nice.... one of my top picks.

I love the softness to this shot. The eye color is magnificent. Your use of negative space is great - his black just fades into the background. The lignting on his beak is very effective. Excellent close up. On a second look - I'm upping it to a 10.

Since I am lacking in technical skills, I cannot give helpful comments. I am strictly a photo buff who is trying to improve, but as to telling you what is wrong or right, I am in no position to say. I am simply voting based on whether I like the picture or not. Sorry, maybe someday I will be able to give helpful advice

Absolutely beautiful colors - almost surreal. I like the soft focus, but IMHO it's a tad overprocessed. Only a minor point with such a fantastic shot. Great job. 9
