Ram:

well exposed, nice catchlight, well scaled perch.

A bit tight on the tail, and she feels like she is angling away from us because of the angle of the perch.

Funny about the name!

Cheers

Cool subject :)

I think a bit more DOF is required here...if you look closely, the focus is on the beak and trails of quickly as you work back along the bird / perch. F4 would have worked had you been perpendicular to the subject rather than at an angle.

The bright area in the lower LH corner is distracting and I would blur out the OOF blue smoky looking stuff on the upper left.

A really nice one here Ram. Like the perch and Pose. would have liked a better hed turn and eye contact. I too would rework the BG.

Ram, the pose parallel to the perch works well, but being angled more towards you would have been even better. Although not blue, there are still enough other colours to make her attractive.:w3
