    Beautiful light and BG. Nicely exposed and good feather detail. The pose and the HA are perfect. The only thing I would change, if you dont mind cloning things, is the discolored BG at the top of the perch. Very Nice.

    I like the frame, the BG is fantastic and the perch and the bird are classical, i agree with David on cloning the grass above the perch in the BG
    I dont think anything else can be improved with this fantastic image, its just classic

    Nice image, Frank. Bird is sweet as is the background. maybe tone down the whites in the tail just a bit? They are so bright they draw my attention and the face is much more interesting. :)

    Great light and BG. I like the old weathered perch, Grace has a good point about the whites in the tail.

    Superb capture, Frank. I really like the patterns in the feathers and the complementary bg.

    Hi Frank, love the light and colours in this, and you have nailed the overall sharpness nicely. The slightly angled pose works well, and the BG is sweet. Yes to blending in the piece of grass behind the perch.

    Nice photo, Frank. I like the original post with the wheat in the BG. Fine job.
