This is not the best image of me as the bg looks busy a bit for my taste. :)
However I like the details of the feathers especially on the shiny metallic primary covers.
Do you think it is tight? It is full frame.

Agree with you for the BG,but for me it is not tight,
I Iike the pose,details and the sharp red eye!

[Paul Pagano]

I don't feel this is tight horizontally. Maybe just a few hairs more above the bird might be nice. The background is a bit distracting but its good that the color contrasts so much with the black bird.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great exposure control, pose and details. Agree on the busy BG.

[John Chardine]

I love this and I think the bird is so dominant that the BG disappears.

[James Salywoda]

Gorgeous image Szimi such a beautiful bird excellent details and colors.

I took the liberty of toning down the BG significantly and adding a little canvas up top. What do you think, Gyorgy? I cloned out your name by accident.
