Great colors. Good composition. The background is a little distracting. It might have been better with a more natural looking background. Also, the subject is not quite a sharp as I would like.

Very pretty colors, and nice choice of DOF. The only remark I have is it feels a bit claustrophobic- if there was just a little bit more of empty space above its head, it would have been perfect.

Interesting shot, I think could have benefited being cropped along the rule of thirds to help frmae it a little more in the shot.

Nice color work and some good texture.. The background is unappealing however.

The red object near the top left should be cloned out, I think. I draws the eye toward it and away from your main subject. Nice colours on the bird and good catchlight in the eye.

Really nice colours! The background is a little distracting though, maybe you could have desaturated it? That would make the bird stand out even more.
