Another Joseph classic. Only nit might be ever so slightly oversharpend. TFS

Very nice composition and gesture from bird.

May be sharpening can be reduced. I am checking this from my phone so it might look different from monitor

TFS

Love the pose and especially the color palette. The pinks and blues work so well together. Sharpening looks ok on my monitor and details look nice. Good look at the eye. Composition is spot on. Really nice one, TFS

Perfection in that nice soft light. Love that open mouth. Nice and sharp with nice detail on the bird.

Very very nice.
Love the IQ, comp and soft muted colors. Sharpening looks OK to me.
Great view of the inside of the mouth.
No nits from me,
Gail
