Hello Annick,
Great POV, pose, sharpness and busy but OOF BG. Nice composition that make this a pleasing portrait of the Crested Barbet. To be very critical I would say the top of the head is slightly OE, but hardly worth mentioning.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Golly, there are enough birds around that I wouldn't have enough lifetime to see, much less learn them all. This one has real interesting markings and I'm reasonably sure I've not seen one before. I look forward to your daily post.
