Colorful poser...

Sharp on the eye with nice detail. You needed to get taller as the horizon line at the top of the head is an image killer ... Is 1/5300 sec. really a shutter speed??? I ask because a lot more d-o-f usually helps get the feathers on the back sharp with these over the shoulder poses. And the BKGR looks far enough away to not be be affected much ...

Yes Artie, had plenty of room to close down aperture but knew the face/bill was square with camera sensor and didn't care about the body much. Also on my tippy toes for this one cause I am terrible at pointing rig using back screen (even if it does swivel nice) :e3. Thanks as always for very valued help.

I agree with Artie, especially about the horizon line, and also feel the saturation could be bumped, and perhaps more contrast. Nice and sharp on the face. Good job waiting for a square-to-the-sensor head angle.

Nice and sharp, also like the pose.
