Grace I would love to review of your post if I had time.. All of them should be in the all time best section!!! The colors of this bird are amazing!!! You must be using very strong zoom lens for your shots. You are very talented artist Grace!!!

Thank you Lucas. I feel the same way about your painting. I am amazed at how talented you are, especially at such a young age. I'm confident that you have the ability to go far in life and create great things.
Comment from Stringbean
Wow! So much beauty captured in this shot of the Metallic Starling. Spectacular lighting, sharp focus revealing those beautiful iridescent colors and incredible details of the feathers and markings on this bird. Your Central composition is strong. Since the eye is so sharp draws you into this photography. Your diffused background and choice of aperture isolate your subject from the background beautifully. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Grace,
A beautiful picture of the Metalic Starling with it's Ruby coloured eye staring out at you the light shining down upon it showing off the beauty of it's iridescence of green purple & black. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Wow! This is gorgeous, Gracie. Everything about the shot is perfect. His pose on the branch. Your placement of him in the shot. The beautiful background. Your incredible detail, color and light. I am in awe. The only downside...I was going to post a picture I took of a starling this weekend but...it pales in comparison so...won't be doing that. :) Thanks for sharing. Love it!

I had to promote this! I'm just getting into bird photography and this is what I want to accomplish. Such a sharp image of the bird with stunning colors. A beautiful bokeh, great contrast. I'm so glad that you didn't push the colors out of bounds like so many people do!

Oh me, the colors are absolutely wonderful. Presentation and visual impact are impressive. Beautiful framing with soft lighting. The starlings around here are just plain ole black. How fascinating!

What a striking photo! Love how you captured the iridescent coloring of the bird. I love the framing and bokeh background as well. It really emphasizes the clarity and coloring of the main subject. Thank you for sharing!

Wow Grace, what an amazing bird with such wonderful irridescent colors. I don't think I've seen this beautiful metallic coloring before. So luminous and appealing to view. The capture and clarity of the stunning vampire red eye is just outstanding. Your focus and detail in this shot is excellent and the image is stunning. Really a pleasure to view and review.
