The bunting really stands out nicely, good job on the exposure. The face area may be just a little over-sharpened.

Beautiful, Edward. Were you using flash? It has that look to my eye.

No flash was used. All natural sunlight against a dark wooded area in the background.
No extra sharpening added.

Thanks.

Now that was a fortuitous patch of sunlight! I love the subtle variation in the coloration of the bird's chest/abdomen

Nice! I like the dark background! Pretty colors on the bird, and he gave you a really nice pose!
