    Frank:

    Wonderful details in your portrait. Like the subtle brown at the base of the iris, great reflection in eye with trees showing, slightly open bill.

    Nicely done.

    Cheers

    How cute, I love the stray feathers along the back of the head! Good comp, nice green BG, and nice details.

    Hi Frank, lovely portrait showing the finer detail nicely. Just enough space all round for a good comp, and the slightly open beak puts this up a few notches.

    Lovely portrait with amazing details and killer BG. Would love to see this species small in the frame as well so that you can tell it's a chick.
