Loverly bird, BKGR, and SH. I like that you have separation between the bird's bill and its breast. You might try a bit darker with the blacks and the mid-tones.

Thanks, Artie.

Super shot Dean. Good sharpness, details and a clean bg. Nicely done.

Great looking bird. The BG is simply stunning.
I visioned this one with more room on left and gave it a try on PS, I hope you don't mind.

[Arthur Morris]

Very nicely done and thanks, JC. Your repost gives the bird more room to see into its world....

[Axel Hildebrandt]

The repost looks much better, particularly adjusted midtones and more room. I would only desaturate the reds a few points.

[DeanNewman]

JC,
Your re-do improved the image significantly. Far from minding, I appreciate the lesson. Will re-work with other pointers; darkening blacks and mid-tones/desat reds, etc. Thanks all
