What a unique looking bird, Frank, and you've done well to showcase him with this profile image. Your BG is lovely as is the pose. If your original image is tight enough, I think I would consider a little more crop from the bottom and a tad from the right if it were mine.

Love that eye! I'd also vote for a tighter crop; the OOF portion of the bird in the RLC could be removed along with some of the green BG on the left. I would have liked a slight head turn towards the viewer.

I like the pose, details, sharpness, pastel BG and how the eye matches the blue on the wing. Well done Frank!

Sharp with a loverly BKGR. Good cropping suggestions above. The head is angled ever so slightly away.... The face looks a tad over-sharpened to me.

I like the the exposure and details. The blue eye is great. I agree with Marina and Doug for a tighter crop.
