I think the males get way too much attention:p

Nonda,
I love the colors and, I'm guessing the early morning light? Nice bird, she looks like she's about to take off. The bg looks a little noisy on my monitor and I wish the beak was more in the clear...Lots to like here!!

Thanks Katie, I actually worked on the beak a bit to try and define it more, you hit on hubby's critique on that:)
BG wasn't noisy here, but looks it on the up load, will fix that.

:DVery nicely Nonda,
I love the colors both of your bird and the soft pale green of your background. The details on the subject are nice and sharp...congrats...

Beautiful bird but I'd love to see a little of the greenery off the bottom in order to keep my eyes on her. She definitely deserves the attention!

[Anita Rakestraw]

Very appealing image of her, Nonda, the colors are wonderful!!! Agree with comments already made. I'd probably be tempted to clone out the foliage around her beak....if you do that sort of thing. (-:

I'm with Anita on the foliage around the beak !! Do like the image very much and particularly like the space for the perch Just great. Does give it a special feel. Agree the girls don't get enough attention and they are quite beautiful !!! Love it !!!

Thanks folks! Cloning or masking out the foliage is a great idea.
