Nicely done! I love that you can clearly make out the eye detail. Is it a wild bird or a zoo specimen?

What a cute bird! Pretty sure we don't have this one over here. Makes me want to consider the Sigma for my next lens!

Sorry I've been slow to answer. I've been digging up a concrete floor, most of the day, to locate a water leak.

Very nice picture, colors are great! Very good focus too! About the only thing that would be better would be a darker background, but not much you can do about that.
