Hi Alex. I don't think you really needed any fill-flash on this one. Colors are nice in both bird and BG and framing is pleasing too. You might consider a pass of NR on the BG.

Thanks for the feedback Ian. I think you are right about the background, I will try a re-edit. thanks for taking the time to comment, it is much appreciated.

Quite lovely portrait Alex. The exposure is not easy with that easy-to-burn-out patch on the neck. Looks like you did a nice job there. Very sharp too. It would be great to see a bigger version. BPN allows 1024 x 800 px and a file size of < 250kb.
