Hi Joe,

What a finely detailed portrait. Like the pose and a slight head turn towards us. Lovely BG. Not sure it that small white V shape touching his back is a cloning artifact, or part of the BG.

Hi Geoffrey, thank you for viewing and commenting. I didn't do any cloning on the background so my guess is that it is a fluff of feather or something stuck to the bird. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Not sure if I will remove it of leave it. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Excellent portrait Joe, great pose background and feathers detail. Thank you for sharing.

Terrific portrait, Joe. Great pose, comp and detail.

You are really nailing your profile images. I would simply give this one a tad more room. Lovely details.

Sharp with nice detail on the bird maybe a little too tight.

Joseph, super portrait, nailed the details, HA and BG, I would clone out the OOF feather.
