Hi Jose,
a very unique capture of the bird. it gives a good puzzle as well as a nice challenge to the visual.
excellent composition of the colours and graphical effect.
Well done in lovely pleasant background with a contrasting power.

Hello Jose,
Wow, I didn't know you had such exotic birds in Portugal! It is frustrating when they hide from you but you still shown its main features and colours very well. A nice composition too!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello José,
A nice capture of a male Yellow-crowned Bishop in breeding plumage. Though the beak is hidden behind its perch you caught the rest of its features with excellent sharpness and colours against a fine neutral natural BG.
Perhaps with the climate change we shall have these in Sweden in the future!
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan

Hello Jose,
surprising colourful, exotic looking feather ball, well presented in front of a perfectly uniform distinctly coloured and well supporting distant background.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Hi Jose,
This is a pretty funny photo. It looks like the bird is trying to hide behind the stick from you. It probably didn't realize it was a lot bigger. I love the smooth texture of the wonderful colored BG and the clean look of the presentation.
TFS,
Niek
