Like the soft BG which gives you a sense of location Nonda. Good sharpness too. Perhaps a touch more sharpness on the bird. Thanks for posting!

Hi Nonda,
I like it, nice soft pleasing colors and good eye contact. I would as personal taste, crop from the top and convert it into a pano...:D

[Alfred Forns]

Would just take a little of the top but love it as presented. Particularly like the feel, that bg is just great !!!!

[Nonda Surratt]

How's this, too much,more?

[SeanKP]

Nonda, I'll steer clear of the composition discussion. I've got so much to learn on that front but I adore this shot.The bird is wonderfully sharp where it matters and that background works so well. As Alfred says, it has a marvellous feel to it.

Hi Nonda, beautiful image - personally I'd crop more off the top. Gorgeous soft colours!!
