Thanks to Captan James Shadle for making this image possible! :)

Lots of noise in the background. I would crop a little off the top. The perch looks
OOf and wish for a better head turn.

Beautiful image with great light. On my monitor I don't see much noise...and I do see alot of detail!I would crop a bit off the top.

Beautiful light, pose and eye contact. Maybe a bit more sharpening?

Lovely light , colours and pose. Agree re a little more sharpening. I'm not seeing much disturbing noise. Another vote for maybe crop a little off the top.

Love the light, colours and pose - add a touch of sharpening and Voila.
