Hi Ricardo,
Amazing shot, great work!
Nicely composed portrait!
Very well done!!!
TFS Malgosia

Ricardo,
breathtaking - marvellous picture!
Classical pose, perfectly fitting neutral background.
You managed to show this extremely colourful bird in a very beautiful soft light. In front of the very pleasant subdued green hues of the background the colours of the beak and the chest appear very subtle in spite of their immense natural brightness.
A perfect photography that looks very pleasant and impressively well done - like an excellent painting.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

Hola Ricardo,
Muy buena foto de esta especie de colorido tucán. El fondo verde uniforme me parece muy adecuado ya que concentra la atención en el ave.Muy ilustrativa, me recuerda a las figuritas de los álbumes que compraba de niño.

Hola Ricardo,
¡Qué ave más espectacular! Sus colores son no ya bellos sino inverosímiles. Y las has captado con una gran calidad y naturalidad. La composición resulta muy acertada: además de estética y equilibrada subraya la insólita cabeza de esta ave que nunca vi. Bonita foto, sin duda.
Un saludo cordial desde España,

PS. Gracias por tus amables comenarios sobre mi foto de geometría octogonal

A really spectacular shot of this colorful and strange bird! It almost looks as if we can see the photographer in its eye!

hi Ricardo.
I'd visited your photo. It's incredible what you do with your prosumer. And composition, POV that you give. fantastic!

regards and TFS

Hi Ricardo, good shot. Nice colours and composition. Very well done.

Hello Ricardo,
I don't know what you did with this picture, but it looks much more like a painting than a photograph. If I wouldn't see an exif info I would have thought it was drawn.
Anyway, the colours are great here and so is the POV. It has good framing too.
WELL DONE!

PS. You updated critique to my picture of catterpillar seven times! This is very confusing. I think I know what your goal was. Hope you're contented now :-)

Very attractive toucan Ricardo, especially with the 1/15 exposure.
Great pose and composition.
Good sharpness and background.

Very good capture Ricardo,
Good detail, colours and sharpness. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV and composition.

Thanks for posting, have a great week.

Un amigo de TN italiano, me preguntó en su crítica a una de mis fotos, si eramos mellizos... jajaja, le expliqupe que lo único que nos une es nuestro nombre y la pasión por la fotografía.
No quise dejar pasar la oportunidad para felicitarte por este retrato Ricardo, por la calidad de la misma, por el colorido y la nitidez captada con impresionante nivel.
Es grato ver imágenes así capturadas con cámaras no reflex, realmente.
Adecuado encuadre y recorte junto con un DOF apretado, pero correcto.
El fondo es natural o parte del post procesado?
Mi admiración y saludos... Ricardo
