Nice capture! What kind of bird is this? Good detail on the bird and good exposure. The yellow plant in the foreground is really interesting, and I might have liked to see just a touch more of it.

good image though i feel the needles that cover the bird are a little out of focus and could be a little sharper.

Very nice...great clarity and color. I'd crop the left side ever so slightly to eliminate the distracting, drooping branch from the top left area. Beautiful. :)
