Nice high key background. Perhaps just a tad more room for the virtual feet. Lovely pose, the head nestling on the shoulder is a real plus. Good details in the blacks of the wings, nice color variance, subtle but nice.

Love the processing but for me the bird is just a little too central.

Love the pose and the perfect reflection. I could see moving the bird slightly to the right in the frame, and maybe adding a bit of canvas up top.

Thanks for your comments. It seems that there are many different options for cropping this image. I forgot to say that I have some room to the right and even less to the top and the bottom of the bird so I will experiment a bit more :w3
