[Bill Dix]

Beautiful background, head angle and raised crest. Nicely done.

[Gary Esman]

Agree with Bill. Does it need eye work from the flash or is that natural for this bird.

[Kerry Perkins]

Good point Gary. I did remove quite a bit of eye flash but not all of it. Might look more natural with just the catch light.

[Paul Lagasi]

Well captured ... ;) ... really nice image, sharp, perch nice color, details and nice background. Well done
