Nicely saturated and intimate, I love the low angle, a little soft, may benefit of a pass of USM.

Sharpness looks good to me. Beautiful color on this bird and the grass sets it off nicely. Maybe just a little more room on both sides

A very nice shot. I'd remove some of the OOF foreground and add some to top and right, if you have it.

Nice image...I love seeing birds from other countries and how their plumage compares to ours here in the USA....

Ofer,

This is a very nice photo. In some ways, it looks a little soft but
the eye makes this photo IMHO.

I get a warm fuzzy feeling as I view it!
