Nice portrait excellent details, Joe.

Very nice portrait, I like this pose a lot. Great details and the colors make this an eye catcher. Love the shine on the beak. Well done.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Wonderful details and colours, I like the composition and the DOF looks good too, a very eye catching shot.

[Ivan Sjögren]

The a very beautiful in their breeding plumage! Great portrait with a perfect eye contact, good bg and light. If anything I would brighten the blacks as it is not any feather details shown in your version.

I really like the composition you chose for this image.
Lots to like with lots of nice details. My Favorite part of this image is the mottled BG.
Well done,
Gail
