Excellent details and sharpness, perfect composition and great colours. Fantastic work! Well done, Chi. Have a great weekend.

Awesome shot Chi Liu, I like everything about this picture, what's really interesting about this shot is that the white head sits on a nice dark background and the black body sits over a nice light background. Clever lad you are. :)

Great colours and very interesting bird, very good contrast between the subject to the BG.

Further to Toucadoo's comment, the orange/red beak and feet stand out in front of this wonderful BG in the complentary colour green. It seems a bit hazy, I would suggest to adjust levels and re-define black and white point (have tried it out, colours are much more brilliant that way). As is, well done!

Hi Chi,

He's sitting there very decorative, thank you very much for sharing it with us, bye
