Nice image of this bird, which is frustrating me. Glad to see some one has been able to get decent image of one. I like the alert pose, nice colors also. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture of this guy. I like the background, but I think it might be a little too distracting. I would tone it down a touch.

Bird looks good and background is very nice -- but - I am not a fan of head on shots

Nice capture Mike. He's giving you the look! Is there something funky going on with the left foot? It looks odd. Nice Bg and perch.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments,
Steve - you are correct about the left foot but I have no idea what is wrong with it.

This is a bird I can never get close to, so first, congrats on getting this one Mike. Nice isolation and clean image. I do agree with Jerry though...I might one down the BG just a touch. It does take away a tiny bit from the bird, but it also makes him pop off the page, so I would only decrease the saturation little bit.

The pose nicely shows the crown Mike. The other's remarks on the BG seem to make sense. But: a darn fine image
