    Great low angle, bird is extremely sharp. A few things though-- Looks like you need some CW rotation, i'd address that blue streak in the foreground, and run some noise reduction in the BG. I'd probably also tone down the bright browns in the BG.

    Nice low shooting angle. As Lyle mentioned, it needs rotation. I would also clone outh the blade of grass towards the left of the bird.
    Sharpness, HA, eye contact, details are all good.

    If I am not mistaken, the FG was slanted here b/c the bird looks pretty level. If not, it would need some adjusting. Lovely subject, details and colors. I am with Karl on that one blade of grass. I don't generally like removing objects, but I think that one would go if it were mine.

    Marina, the FG was indeed slanted hence I did not rotate it. Agree on the blade of grass though. Thank you all for your advice.
