You're done this female justice! I like the curve of her neck and your choice in composition. The feather details are so good that I feel as though I am actually looking at the actual bird.

Love the comp and the IQ.
Very nice BG color as well.

Great pose and detail! BG color goes very well with the bird.

Hi Joe, lovely pose with the curled neck, and you have really brought out the plumage detail so well. Great eye. I do like the colour of the BG.
