I'm jealous. These guys keep eluding me. Where's you take it?

A beautiful shot Jean. I would place the bird more right in the frame.

I like the combination of colours,with the pink coloured bird standing out nicely against the blue sky.
I'd crop some space off from behind the bird to de-centralize it.
Nicely captured.

Beautiful with the spread wings and blue background. A little off the right and a tad off the top maybe?

The light was a little harsh but you did well, Jean!
Another good option would be to go vertical ... :roll:

Beautiful image! I love the position of the feet, and the bg complements the bird well.

This is a pretty color combination. Nice catch with all the feathers spread out like this. Agree on the crop suggestions.

The spread tail makes the shot for me.
