Very nice! Love the low angle and the details in the feathers.

Hi Chad Love this image !!!! Great eye contact, fluffing feathers and sweet bg !!! Might have a stronger image with a slight crop of the darker stripe up top !!!

[Adams Serra]

Hey Chad,
Beautiful picture, the low angle and sharpness make your subject stand out. My only nit is that dark area on the top of the picture.

[Gus Cobos]

Very nice capture, love the colors and composition...:D

[Jonathan Michael Ashton]

Beautiful exposure and detail, as I scroll the image up and down I have to agree with Alfred, suggest crop most of the dark area at the top.

Thanks, I'm trying to decide crop the top or clone the left side to look like the right not sure.

Hey Chad. This is really nice. I like the perspective as well as the pose. Good tech stuff as well. I think a tighter crop would improve the image. The crop I made might be a bit much, but I think it looks nice. I also made a levels adjustment layer and brightened up some of the shadows on the bird from being off axis to the sun.
