Showing off your PP skills again I see Andreas... yeah, that maybe didn't sound right lol but we get it.

Really liked your choice of composition first and foremost. Great job getting the head and beak parallel with the camera. And the details are... wow. You can even see crazy fine hairs on the beak.

Not much to nit, especially with the cute factor. Nicely done!

It's a peach Andreas, you nailed it, a pleasure to view.
