What a colourful little beauty he is. Excellent detail in the feathers and I like the look he's giving you. I do find that splash of white on the lower left distracting.

He sure looks a lot prettier than our kookaburras. Hope his voice is prettier too. The detail in the bird is great.

Lovely bird, beautiful, detail, light and background.
Agree with P Plates comments about the white patch.
