I just LOVE this image, re the color, composition, detail, and play of light.

Wow, this is such an unusual shot. I like the movement in the wings and the colour of the flower that tones with the colour of the bird. I feel the background is a bit distracting though and this photo would have benefited from a shallower depth of field to blur the background and make the bird really stand out.

His wings almost blend right in with the leaves! Neat shot.

the flowers attract my attention more than the bird.
