    This is really nice Joe.
    I like the way the light is spotlighting the eye. I quite like the play of shadow and light on the bird.
    Great BG and I like the squarish comp.
    I would reduce the blues in the whites in the shadowed area of the breast.
    A very nice image,
    Gail

    Hi Gail, thank you for viewing and commenting. Good suggestion regarding the whites in the shadows. Here is a repost with the temperature in the shadows raised/warmed.

    Hey Joe, They both look great to me. Love the perfect head angle, the open bill, and the splayed featehrs. Plus the BKGR and the perfect SH and EXP.
