Everything looks good here. Exposure is spot on , nice head turn and background and great IQ, Dan.

[Arthur Morris]

Nice pose and head angle to match. I'd have pointed the lens a bit to the left after focusing. Looks a bit over-sharpened to me and the YELLOWs could stand to be toned down just a bit by adding some BLUE in Selective COlor.

Reallky Nice Dan. great detail colors and perch. I like the pose too

[Tom Rambaut]

Agree yellows in the neck area look too yellow. Second the more room to the left issue.

Striking looking bird and a new one for me. TFS

[Alan Murphy]

Hey Dan, I'm going in the opposite direction. I think the whole image needs to be warmed up, even the yellows. A bit over sharpened. Love the come and pose.

Dan, excellent pose, BG and details. Nice eye level shooting angle. Well done.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot. Excellent pose, great background and perch. Great feather detail and great comp.
Well done.
