nice portrait and flashwork - pops from a uniform BG. would like to see it a tad sharper

[Don Lacy]

Dave, Nice BG and perch I think I would crop it from the right and another round of sharpening

[Markus Jais]

Beautiful soft light and great BG. I would have preferred the bird a little further to the right. I agree with the others about a little more sharpening.

EXP good and a nice BKGR. The perch is too large for this species and the head is angled slightly away from you. It could go a tad darker all around and could stand a bit more contrast in addition to a bit more sharpening.

Thanks folks for looking and all your C & C.

Unfortunately the birds preferred this large perch to my thinner one. In all I got about 20 different species on the large perch as the birds seemed to love resting on it.

Dave.
