Hello Greg,

You have a very nice image with a nice composition, colors and details. I hope you don't mind but I removed what I believe to be a distraction and the noise in the image. I hope you like it.

Thanks!

Very nice head angle, wonderful subject and great background. Not sure about OOF branch on the left.

[Alfred Forns]

I like it a lot Greg !!! Sweet pose and head angle The oof branches I would probably leave or evict both. With the bird as sharp and in the first plane they don't bother me that much. It is just a mater of taste !!! Excellent !!!

Very nice image, Greg... and very nice repost Maxis. Like the head angle, pose and background a lot.

[Arsdel Fluesmeier]

A very nice image. Everything good.

[Juan Aragonés]

Yes, this one is really fantastic. excelent light, pose anfd BG and the colour is so vibrant and intense!. I love it. I would clone out the dark, muddy, area right between the fingres of the bird

Greg, this is a superb photo. The feather detail and the colors rock. Maxis' repost helps removing some of the oofies and I'm with Juan regarding the black blotches beneath the branch between the feet. Those nits aside you have one spectacular image!

I agree about removing the spot below the bird. I'm not too sure about removing the vegetation - it seems just a bit too clean to me. Perhaps removing the two leaves closest to the bird would be a compromise.

That is a very eye appealing image! The blue really pops against the canopy of green! I also like when they sing back to you!

I think that would be fine compromise, Greg! Good thought!

I like original post because it looks more natural....great colors and HA.

[Ed Erkes]

Good Grief!! The original image is great!!! I wouldn't change a thing! I think sometimes people nitpick at the little details a little too much. We're not photographing in a sterile emvironment.
