    Excellent portrait. Beautiful colours and nice details.
    I like the head turn and reflection in the eye. Very nicely composed.

    Regards,

    Your bird is tack sharp and full of amazing details. Love the pose too and the color palette.

    Excellent portrait! The HA and feather details are superb. The OOF colors complement the colors of the bird. This is a very strong image. My only nit is the two vertical areas in the lower right corner. For me, they are a bit distracting.
