I like close ups Joe and I like this one. Whites are good and the comp is excellent in my view.Love the little sticky up feathers onthe birds back too
Good one

Nice close up, great colors, detail and pose. it looks like there might be a couple soft spots on the cheek and neck that could use a bit of sharpening. ~ MT
