Great contest!

A simple but very effective portrait of the bird. The warm tones of the background are complementary to the bird's plumage. The composition works very well too.

Lovely bit of 'action' captured by the photographer. Muted colour tones, almost monochromatic, only disrupted by the purple tones of the male's head plumage.

Lovely captured nesting activity.

Great expression. Nice framing of the bird by the flowers. Conveys effectively the action. I love the poise of the bird aiming for its target! A great action image.

Clever choice of shutter speed and balanced colour tones combine for a striking action image. I would have left more space around the bird, but overall a great action shot!

This image is all about the expression of the bird. A great environmental portrait. The tones in the background are complementary to the birds's.
