Another good capture of these amazing birds, i think the tight crop works well here, eye contact would of been the icing but not always possible.

Lovely capture. The green bg works really well against the beautiful colours of the feathers. He/she is beautiful

Very sharp again with really nice colours, only small crit is I would have liked to have seen a bit more detail in eyes. Have you tried to bring a bit of eye detail out in Photoshop at all.
