Beautiful sharp photo, like the pose and the colors. Probably would look good on a large screen too.

The colors are outstanding and the head turn makes this shot a little more interesting (especially when combined with the slightly opened bill)

Lovely. The splashes of crimson sure add a lot to this scene.
