Frank:

Wonderful details in your portrait. Like the subtle brown at the base of the iris, great reflection in eye with trees showing, slightly open bill.

Nicely done.

Cheers

How cute, I love the stray feathers along the back of the head! Good comp, nice green BG, and nice details.

Hi Frank, lovely portrait showing the finer detail nicely. Just enough space all round for a good comp, and the slightly open beak puts this up a few notches.

Lovely portrait with amazing details and killer BG. Would love to see this species small in the frame as well so that you can tell it's a chick.

Intimate portrait with lots of life in the eye. Great BG too.

Superb image
Great details , green plain BG compliments the subject nicely
looks lovely

I like the detail in the beak.
Nice portrait of the chick, an interesting subject.

A beauty Frank, lovely detail & BG, looks very alert for such a young bird.

A pleasing portrait with good detail, comp. and bg.

Excellent portrait with great details and very nice colors.
Beautiful composition too.

I really like the green background, excellent feather details, teriffic comp, and very nice soft light.
Very well done.

Great shot with wonderful detail and exposure control. Beautiful green background sets the bird off nicely. I also like the composition.
Well done

Love it Frank. Great detail and love those sweet downy feathers
