Super details and really enjoy the colors - as you note in your title. I think overall the image is a bit dark (particularly the bird) which could probably be boosted 1/3 of a stop

Basri, I also think the image would improve by lightening it up some. There is great detail and colors in the bird that would really pop more. Well done!

Nice sharpness on this image Basri, I a in the same camp as the others as far as this looking a little underexposed, but that is an easy adjustment and think it will make the bird stand out against the dark BG a lot better.

Love the pose and the colors. Wonderful rich green background really sets the bird off well.

Agree with the others about the exposure but the colours and the detail is excellent.

This bird has some neat plumage! There is insane detail in this one. I find the prickle bush branch on the right side of the frame pretty distracting. Mostly because it kind of appears as an "extension" of his tail. Nice image!
