I did sharpen the rock! but these rocks are dull not even a sheen.

Very elegant image Freddy !!! Love the colors Bg looks just fine along with the nice perch !!!! Birds pose is very appealing particularly the feet position !! Might have liked the image framed with more room to the left in the direction the bird is looking !!! I like it a lot !!!!

A beautiful, clean image, Freddy. Looks like a studio shot. :) I like the way the rock flows into and out of the frame though I would wish that it was a bit sharper. With the bird looking back to the left, I think the image would have been even stronger if the bird had been slightly farther to the right in the frame. Having said that, I don't think cropping from the right or adding space on the left would improve the composition here. Overall, very well done.

Really nice image. No nits at all in my opinion. Great shot.

[Dan Walker]

Nice image Freddy. Really like the head turn and perch. Well done

I little more to the left might be nice, but as is, it screams!

[Dave Phillips]

great looking BTS(hehe, I've never seen one).
Agree more space to left and less on right may improve the comp.

Nice and sharp Freddie

Nice work Freddy. I enjoy viewing your images. This tidy bird shows well against that background.
I think the perch is fine, as is...tom

Great pose, angle and details. I agree with Alfred regarding the composition.
