Great detail on a beautiful bird. The setting with the flower arches and colours really compliments it beautifully.

Rick, Beautiful bird and setting. My initial impression, based on the crop, is that the flowers are more emphasized than the bird. Maybe a slightly tighter crop and move the bird to the left a bit? I realize this is subjective and differs from person to person, but my two cents.

The flowers frame the bird beautifully in a graceful arch. Colors are wonderful. A very attractive photo-I would not change it....
