    Wonderful light here John.
    What I also like is, that you have the OOF treetops in the frame for balance.
    I usually prefer something in the BG, even if distant, rather than a pure blue BG.
    Ideally, the HA would be better, but the light makes up for that. At least it appears the head may be slightly tilted away. Perhaps it is just that the eye is looking away.
    TFS!

    Hi John. Very nice image...I also like the oof trees. There is a pinkish tinge to the bird which I guess is the sunset light...but that doesn't quite work for me.

    I quite like this. It has a soft, ethereal feel to it. Lovely light.
    Whites look good.
    Tree adds a lot.
    I would tease out a bit more detail in the legs if you can.
    I am never sure about color casts due to the evening light. I am OK with the pink as long a sit accurately reflects what you saw!
