Very elegant shot - you made sure to have a good background for contrast and avoid distraction.

Woo Hooo!!! Way to go SISTER!!!!! Congratulations on achieving your highest score yet! I have a feeling that score won't remain your highest score for long, but it is an AWESOME place for this beautiful, flawlessly photographed bird to be sitting right now :)

Ohmygosh!! This is not only stunning and perfect, but it is such a "me" photo! These birds are some of my favorite birds to photograph. They are normally photogenic, but you have taken it to the next level and made photogenic become extraordinary with the lighting, the texture of every single little feather so crisp and focused. . .plus, the rich display of the bird's color.

WOW! This could not be any more perfect! One of the very few 10's I've given so far!
