Hi Alan nice classy GBH pose with good detail and a nice tonal range . I might drop the blues in the subject slightly , but this could be just me.

Good solid classic GBH pose.
Good IQ and nice head turn.
I would take a sliver off the RHS just to the edge of GBH body and add this to LHS.
The neck area seems a bit oversharpened with some jagged artifacts at base of neck. Easy fix.

First impression: Love the blue but oversharpened. Lots to enjoy in this colorful photograph.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice pose and details, looks pretty nice. As Gail mentioned, the composition would be better with more room on the left and less on the right.

[Satish Ranadive]

Excellent portrait. Superb fine details in feathers, beautiful colors and very nice composition. Agree about crop with Karl.

Regards,
Satish.
