    Great colours here Joe, love the whites, but, the green and yellow on the bill look real good. Very nice detail.

    Well done.

    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

    Wonderful pose and detail, with fantastic color! Those little feathers on the left balance the face so nicely.
