 This amazingly colourful bird decided to fly down and sit on the post right next to me, and I was lucky enough to fire off a few shots before he/she decided to fly away.

Great colors around the eyes. I wish the DOF was a little wider.

A little better focus would have made it great. Still pretty cool, though.

Beautiful colors, I love the purple behind its head. Great sharpness on the eyes.

The bird is in a great pose. I think your DOF is too shallow. The beak is OOF and the rear part of the body are OOF. Most of all I think the beak needs to be in focus. 5

LOL @ his expression! :) I wish the bug and his feet were in focus, but I imagine this was a 'one shot' happening. (not voting yet)

is that a spider in its mouth? I think the depth of field is a tad too shallow...focus on eyes is good
