Kasra:

Good timing! Nice sense of action form the wing position.

Light was harsh and caused some shadows. Did you need to do any shadows and highlights work here? A little work on the face would smooth it out nicely.

I like the scale of the perch.

From a comp. standpoint, I would try a version with the bird moved to the left a bit and crop down a little from the top, it is a bit too centered for my tastes as is.

Soft, colorful background.

Cheers

Randy

Like the gorgeous bird, background, perch and pose. I agree on it being to centred, and moving the bird further to the top left could help.

Nice balancing pose, good perch and background. Not so great light though. Exposed best you could but still contrasty. I'd crop some off the left.
