I think the light BG shows off the bird very well. Great look back pose and a lovely POV. Cool frame.

I think you did well. Lorant. Very difficult lighting to say the least. A very interesting and beautiful bird, thank you for sharing.

Great bird indeed, and the look-back pose is perfect. Good balanced vertical composition and I love the sharp leaves at left. Getting rid of the extra twigs above the heads would be an option to get a clean upper frame, and I would also look into taming the brighter highlights in the lower right part of the image.

Very pretty bird with nice look back pose and comp.
