Nice image. The background from the neck upwards is clean, I guess as the distance increases. I was wondering instead of F9 if a wider lens opening had been used, what would have been the impact on the bg, especially on the black patches on the right.

Great shot Jeroen!!!
I Iove the eye contact,colors,details and pose!

[Daniel Cadieux]

What a nice and clean image. The greenery is quite vivid, and I ike the movement at the very tip of the curled head plume. I wish the OOF foreground was not so close the legs, but it's very minor.

Very nice crisp image here Jeroen. Everything cant be sharp as I have found. The bird is what matters!

Nice pose Jeroen. Great uncluttered BG as well. No nits from me.
