    Hi Joe,

    What a finely detailed portrait. Like the pose and a slight head turn towards us. Lovely BG. Not sure it that small white V shape touching his back is a cloning artifact, or part of the BG.

    Hi Geoffrey, thank you for viewing and commenting. I didn't do any cloning on the background so my guess is that it is a fluff of feather or something stuck to the bird. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Not sure if I will remove it of leave it. Thanks again, much appreciated.

    You are really nailing your profile images. I would simply give this one a tad more room. Lovely details.

    Sharp with nice detail on the bird maybe a little too tight.
