This is really a nice piece. I love the color background. It really brings out the blue highlights in the feathers. Your choice to focus on the head fits the contest perfectedly.

Interesting. Nice detail a contrast. ell compose. Maybe a tad too blue for my tastes, but overall a nicely done piece of art.

Great macro version in the field of traditional art. Love the focus of the eyes and that gleaming blue/black plumage. Nice bright, blue sky background. Very defined details. Realistic choice and used of colors. Painted with expertise. Well done.

This bird is lovely. I think she's very well drawn. I love the colors of her. The sky is great too. I like her beak and eye, very nice rendering. Good luck in the contest!

You have done a fantastic job in acrylic on this beautiful bird, and you have remarkable true to life color and sheen in the feathers. Very detailed and textured.
