Super detail here, nailed the red IMO, might tone down lr of perch if mine.
feather sheen is great!

[Loi Nguyen]

Richard gave you good advice here. I have the same thought. Love the sheen on the feathers and you nailed the exposure on the red. Loi

Such a beautiful background, and super pose you got from this RHW. I could see another comp with less perch at bottom and more of that background at top, if possible. I definitely would tone down the bright highlights on the perch too.

Hi Mike, you certainly nailed the exposure on this fellow, sharp, and overall good DOF. You timed the head turn nicely, and agree, toning down part of the perch wont harm the image.

Great exposure, i love the IQ and superb BG

[Daniel Cadieux]

Subject looks great with a superb head turn towards us. Excellent rendition of the reds and you have a luscious BG. My main concerns have been addressed: toning down the perch, and having more room above (if you have it).

Excellent image.Beautiful bird. Wonderful colors and superb details. Agree about toning down the perch.

Regards,
Satish.
