    Lovely image, those blacks look real good. I like the HA, nice perch and BG colours which blend well with the bird. Not so keen on the withered leaves.

    Nice one Joe.

    Hey Will, thank you for viewing and commenting. Your wish is my command. Easy fix, clone out the leaves, smooth the background and clone the stem back in. I left it in the original because I did not want to manicure it too much.

    A beauty, Joe, either way you present it. Nice look-back pose, great bg. Great exposure on the blacks, and the epaulets look good too.

    Beautiful image, Joseph. Excellent feather detail and nice head angle. Agree either post works well. Lovely BG too.
