    I like the light bird on dark BG, the wing position (upper and lower view), the HA and separation. I can't figure out the light situation but overall the bird seems dim. Can you brighten the bird slightly and I miss the catch light. TFS

    It's a pleasant shot and I like the colours and background. I would suggest trying to bring out a little more detail in the plumage with tone adjustments.

    John & Jon, I think the issue is, it's not sharp.

    I like the backlight and the BKGR but I'd vote for sharpening up the face.
