Wow! Very rich, saturated colors. Excellent use of framing and leading lines to draw the eye into the photo. I would either include more of the tree whose leaves are poking into the left side of the frame or exclude it completely. It seems almost out of place like this. Thanks for sharing!

Great composition and good timing. It looks like the beak just barely starts to fall out of focus. I love animal portraits when they are done well. Good job.

Beautiful shot. The vivid colors really jump out at you. I particularly like the composition with the trees framing the shot.

I like the shot, but there are just a couple of things I would do to improve it. I'd first crop it so the bird fills more of the frame. Second, I would try to get a lower angle when taking the picture. Shooting from above the bird gives a feeling of superiority over it, while shooting at the bird's eye level brings the viewer on equal grounds with it. Also, the background is usually farther away and easier to throw out of focus when you have a low point of view.
