Nice bird, nice light, nice perch, and a nice background.

Arash:

Nice demonstration of the iris/ pupil, catchlight adds a spark. Angled perch, soft background. Love her head angle, 'expression' , somehow she seems sad.

Cheers

Randy

Thanks Arash, she's a beauty

[Isaac Grant]

Just all around really pretty. That beautiful background really compliments the soft colors of this female. Details look perfect. FYI, on my phone I could not see the whole image and was not able to scroll.

Lovely image of a lovely lady.
Love the HA and of course, the great BG,

Like it. Love the look back - she seems to be saying, "Ah, come on... another shot? Haven't we done this enough!" Clearly, the answer is "no!". :) Thanks Arash.

Hi Ari, I like your choice of comp, lovely IQ all round, sharp, and the head turn makes this image for me. Killer BG too.

[John Whaley]

Just beautiful. The background is perfect.

Arash - my favorite parts of this perfect image are: the beautiful BG, the detail in the entire subject, and that head turn/ eye contact. Love it all. Thanks for sharing.
