Hi John, Please check the posting guidelines. There is a time period between posts.
The larger image shows how nice this capture is and you can make out the insect that it has in its bill. Both the small and large versions appear to have a warmish color cast to them. Setting a good black and white point should cure that. I'd be inclined to crop the left a bit more to pull it further out of the center. Thanks for sharing this beautiful bird.

I like the environment for this image. For me, the image is significantly over saturated. It could be a color / white balance issue as well, but as posted, the image doesn't feel natural.

Rick - Thank you, the photo was enhanced from the original and was posted in the Photo Art section. However they were re-posted to the Avian gallery.
Kieth - You are right the image does not feel natural. I took the image and enhance the shot beyond the natural. The image was posted in the Photo Art section. The white balance was set to cloudy to give a warm glowing feel. The saturation does not bother me for this image. Appreciate it, thank you.
