Wow this is so sharp and very good details. You have the eye contact even though he is upside down. Excellent catch. TFS

Very nicely captured. Colours are quite striking, red eye and yellow feathers. No distracting background, keeps it simple. I like it.

This is so beautiful! Sharpness is superb and I like how the tree looks a bit fadded in comparison to the bird. To my favorites!!!

You did a good shot, I love it! Thanks for sharing beautiful images. Maybe you always doing a good shot, you choose what is best shot to publish of course, Geographic magazine spent thousand pictures but they choose only one. Points for you is not applicable, I'll give you Grammy Award.

What a wonderful catch, a very colourful bird and in a great post too. He looks very alert and almost ready to fly off again at a moments notice. I like all the blue space around the central subject, it reminds me somehow of an Oriental painting.
Well done

Almost like a very competent illustration in a text book. Perhaps I get this feeling because the 'pose' seems slightly artificial, as if the figment of an artist's imagination. It seems to trigger memories of such illustrations from high quality illustrators from childhood just a few years ago.
However, as a photograph, it is par excellence and I wonder how many shots you tried before this one.

Hi Tim

A superb macro, with excellent sharpness & dof. I like the yellow & black combo. Similar to a Regents Bowerbird here. Good work!

Nice shot. If I'm not mistaken it's a weaver bird. Could be wrong as I'm no expert. The use of flash gives it a nice touch.
