Comment from Daphne Oberon
This bird's beauty is what struck me first -- what a striking shade of bright melon orange. Also what a sweet expression with those little masked eyes. I am so glad the species is not in any immediate danger -- I hope it stays that way. It is like flying Mexican Fire Opal... Great photo. A contest winner in my estimation...

Comment from Envision
You really got to see so many interesting and pretty birds on your trip. I really like the colors of this one and how it is looking directly towards the lens. The eyes are sharply captured and look good.

Comment from Nature Rick
The Red Fody is a very beautiful bird. Looks similar to a Vermilion Fly Catcher. Natural colors and tones in the scene. nice feather detail, good lighting, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Wildlife Photograph, well done!

You're Very Welcome!

A very nice choice for this contest. I think whenever you get birds "staring right down the barrel" it gives them a comical look. This one is no exception. I might prefer a vertical cropping as the detritus on either side does not contribute much to the image.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of Madagascar Fody giving you a qizzical look in response to your attempt to sing like a bird. It's dark eyes & beak contrasting with the scarlet head & breast that standing out clearly from the browns of the fallen leaves carpeting the ground. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Oh! Yes! I forgot! Thanks! Technically they belong to the animal kingdom. Including insects and bugs! The first thing that comes to one's mind is the 4 legged ones!:)
