Nice roller, clean BG, nice open beak and interesting perch. I'd add more space to the bottom and I'd selective sharpen the head more.

Mohsen - this is a very clean and well exposed image. The slightly open beak and tilt of the head adds to the image.
* I would consider a bit of selective sharpening on the head.
* If you have the space in the bottom, I would consider adding the space to the bottom. Maybe even making it a vertical crop.

Agree, the head could do with a slight tweak in sharpening, but stunning colour, pose and clean backdrop, open beak adds character as well....lovely shot

[Alan Murphy]

Great perch, BG and pose. The open bill adds a lot.

Thank you so much dear friends.

I don't know exactly why my uploaded images stretched when I upload them in 1024 width, But it doesn't happen for the others. I can see visible softening in stretched version, But when I open it in new tab in original size, everything looks OK IMO. Please advise me.
I'm agree about adding the space to the bottom. But it's too tight in the frame so that I had to add some canvas around the bird except to the bottom because of the perch shape.
