Hi Arsdel

Lovely colorful bird on a great background of complimentary color. Nice pose. I think the bird is slightly soft over the top of the head although the beak looks sharp. There is also two patches where your masking has been less than perfect during processing also, one at the lower foot and the other below the tail.

Love the contrasting yellow bird and green BG in this image. The bird looks soft - you could have increased the shutter speed and decreased the f-stop. Also the yellow highlights below and above the primaries are hot; can be easily fixed in PS. Ditto Don's comments about the masking imperfections. Thanks for sharing, Arsdel.
