Nice one Simon; lucky to get a non-scruffy one at this time of year. Good job with the DOF

Congrats on this gorgeous capture Simon. I love the vibrant colors and wonderful feather detail. The POV from the back and his head turn make it a super composition too.

Awesome, Simon. What a beauty. I like the detail. Pretty good dof for f5.6.

Wow, amazing display of color and feather patterns. I like the head turn and that you get to see another patch of blue under the beak. Nice job in getting this, the larger image looks great, way to go.

Beautiful bird captured in a very nice comp. I also like how the colors of the bird is picked up in the branch Excellent handling of the reds; I have a 7D and it's easy to blow out the reds in, say, Red-winged Blackbirds and Pileated Woodpeckers. Very nice image.
