You know this image is mesmerizing don't you?
Like something a very brave painter would do.

I can't say enough about just how great your work is.

This is on my list of prints to get.

Awesome shot.

I love the completely out of focus and uniform green background, it makes the bird stand out in great way.

Wow, that background green is awesome against the colors of the bird. I just wish the bird was more clear. and you could see the head better. Still quite interesting -- thanks for sharing!

These are such beautiful birds, and the light on his back shows the blue-black color really well against that green background. You do such great work with capturing all kinds of birds.

.. Wow.. that background looks awesome. ^_^; Did you edit it, or was it like that? Either way, it looks great. And the shot of the bird himself is really pretty.. the lighting captures the colors on his back perfectly.

This is killer. The color of the bird against that background really makes it stand out. Not to mention these birds are hard to shoot and very beautiful! Nicely done.

The backround is really um, wierd lol, did you do anything in a picture program or photoshop?


But on the main subject the focus is great, excellent timing
