    Man this is a nice parrot image. Head angle, perch and background are great. I am assuming this is a set up near a feeder? I do think you could bring out the beautiful tones of the bird a bit more. I would try adding some blacks to the neutrals in selective color. Might also try a curves adjustment. Just to make the bird pop a bit more and add some more depth to it.

    Thanks, I will give it a try on your suggestion and see how it looks.

    Yes, this was at a feeder in Laguna del Lagarto, these Parrots are the most commong visitors there.

    nice HA Raybel, love the BG and the moss on the perch, Ditto Issac on the blacks, head is just a tad washed out but sharp with good details

    Now that's what I call a green image. Great bird, pose, perch and comp. Isaac's suggestion worth a try.

    Beautiful detail, pose and background. Yes I feel the images just a little thin so adding some blacks will bring this up a couple notches. Well done.
    Come join me for a Custom Raptor Workshop starting this November 2019- January 2020.
    P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.
