Beautiful bird. Great pose and color. Wish the tail was not clipped.

Hello,

Love the details and composition. The colors are awesome and the huge size of the bird filling the frame is very appealing. Excellent work!

[David Kennedy]

Just so you know, I can see a halo around the Pileated where you must have selected it--possibly to blur the background? Any ways, just thought I should point it out.

Cheers,
David

Love the excellent detail in the blacks Kenn and the wonderful eye contact but I agree it would strengthen this image to have the missing tail in the image.

Nice close image of this Pileated! Wish her tail wasn't cut off. Also the head, especially around the crest, looks jaggy, like it was pasted in from another image. Run a small Blur brush around the outer edge of her head to fix this.
