Colours, head angle, background, exposure all look great. I agree the details look soft (well focused, just soft as posted).

A really gorgeous image, David. The BG colors complement the subject. The side-lighting works well in this instance, with a very nice head angle. I like the perch, though the OOF material in the LR BG does detract a bit.

Great look at this beauty. Background is complementary. I think I'd prefer a bit more of a true vertical crop, and could see a bit trimmed from the left.

I was going to mention the crop and now saw the repost.
Fixed it all, nice work on a very nice subject.

Light and colors are simply beautiful. The repost addressed the sharpness issue for me. I might have been tempted to leave some or all of the OP room up front, and add a little canvas on top to make it more vertical.

Beautiful capture! Wonderful to get so close to one of these guys! I always have trouble deciding how to crop an image with this composition. I guess it's often 50-50, but I do like the re-post.
I couldn't complain about sharpness here, but for my images, there is a Murphy's Law Corollary that says the eyes are never as sharp as they should be, even when details both in front and behind are sharp. Not saying I see that here, just commiserating about what can look like variable sharpness.

David, a gorgeous looking bird in good light and BG. Not sure where your focus point was, but you must be very close to him, thus I wonder if DOF may be the reason for some softness in the feathers. But overall looks good me, the eye looks sharp and there is a catch light. The RP is a bit tight to me. Would love to see the full frame version. Loi

I am with Bill here on the crop suggestion. the repost has too little room in the front of the bird, IMO.
Loved this shot...the eye level shooting angle, light and colors...terrific.

What a wonderful close-up shot.
Lovely light and head turn.
I would keep the OP and add more canvas up top. The repost is too tight for my taste,

Thanks everyone for the input and help. Greatly appreciated.
I compose this shot the way I did because of the pose he was in. I also thought the vertical was too tight in the front.
I like the idea of adding to the top though.
Loi, I think you're right, I was pretty darn close to this guy and only had a second or two to snap of a couple shots.
Due to being that close there is very little depth of field.
Thanks again.

Hi David, super pose and HA, and I do like the colours on him. Comp wise, Im not sure if you have any more space below, but I would still the vertical route, but not so tight on the left as in your repost, and add a bit to the bottom.

I personally like the OP best the repost is to tight for my liking.
Well done.
