Very pretty portrait Fernando. I love the way the perch breaks up the frame. I would probably remove the twig in the RLC.

I like the soft light and head angle. It looks like a juvenile bird. The crop and BG look good, it might work as vertical crop, too.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Lovely lighting in this image and beautiful detail. I agree about possibly of removing the tiny branch but very nicely composed and a great BG.

[Steve Maxson]

Lovely soft light and nice diagonal composition. Very nicely done. I would vote for removing the small twig.
