Another top shot...IQ and exp looks spot on and the light on the bird making it pop from the ~BG is great...Love that eye.

Absolutely lovely. No nits from me. The BG is yummy and the whites are perfectly exposed. And you got a nice clean bill!

Sid,
Well exposed and tack sharp(as I expect from you).
The background is pleasing to be sure. Did it need any clean up?

This is also a very strong composition, well balanced with great head angle.

Perhaps a little bit of room at the top might make it even stronger.

Agree with you on that.

No clean up on the background.
