I enjoy the informative artist notes. This is splendid! The colors are amazing. I haven't seen any of this before. Excellent and unique angle. Very artistic presentation, displaying the tiny details of the face. Love that prominent blue eyes and yellow face. A well- captured, sharp image.

Brilliant! You have caught that longing look in his eyes looking skyward, great composition, excellent focus showing awesome detail, great colour clarity and DOF. Excellent camera skill. Well done.

Wow. I am in awe of this one. Look at those eyes! I have never seen this type of bird and you not only got that absolutely perfect picture, you captured an expression, not just looking at the camera, but you can almost see that this bird is in thought. The background takes nothing away from the main thing and I just think this is perfect.

Comment from Photography byTrixie
Impact 5. The eyes look surreal. The color is almost fluorescent and do they really have blue and beige beaks? Never saw one. It almost looks like a caricature with the wild eyelashes.

Love the perspective and the color, like the amazing blue eyes and great DOF. Very nice rule of thirds, nice composition, texture and frame. Well done.

We have these around here, but I haven't been able to get close enough to get a good photo of them. This is really good, love her eyes, and the little fluffs of hair on the side just perfect. Really good color and clarity. thanks for sharing.

A very unusual perspective framed to perfection in the composition. Great colors and clean natural background keep our focus on those tremendous eyes.

Impossible to say NO to something so charming. I did not realize it was real until I read your very nice story. Wonderful composition and framing. I looked at it again and it said give me 5 1/2. How could I say NO. Great shot for sure. Thanks. Royal

100 stars for this fantastic, outstanding and wonderful image - WOW tell me one person seeing this image that birds have no feelings - this shows it ALL, you are a very special bide catcher - but this is the top of the top in perspective and outstanding angle - I cannot looks away - these eyes are looking like buttons with glass pearl border - your adjustments a more than perfect - I wish I still had a six left, anyways this is far more - thanks for sharing
