Great composition and use of space. The details in the image are very good and the image is sharp and well focused. I like the reflection in the bird's eye. The initial impact is good.

My goodness that's what I call a close-up! Caught her eating her sunflower seeds. It shows the feathers so perfect that it almost looks like a drawing. My husband has gotten close on a hummingbird but the other birds fly away. You must have some kind of camera!

Great focus, color and composition. Love the detail in the feathers and tight focus of the eye. Very well done.

I love this! Focused beautifully, it shows the delicate feather patterns superbly. Capturing the bird eating adds another dynamic element to the image

Comment from Babyboomer
Wow that red beak sure is something to be reckoned with. I like that you have captured her munching away on the seed which leads my eye to the detail in the feathers and into her crystal clear eye. Good focus on the eye, I would have liked to see the beak more in focus, maybe a bigger crop all round. My perspective only. Overall a very eyecatching view! Good work.

Thanks! The main point is the eye and feathers.

Personally, my eyes are drawn to the sunflower seed in her beak.. and it makes me want to think that is the main focus in this picture.. but it is not in focus. For that, it would be nice if maybe a slightly higher f/stop were used to keep her whole face crystal clear. But overall, Great shot! Excellent colors and I love how much detail you've caught in her feathers. Good job:)
