    Soft and loverly with a killer-sweet BKRG, a nice head angle, and a nice look at the face and the eye. You might try a bit more off the top and the left. All in all a very fine image.

    One can not help but go "Aaaaaw!" when seeing thing this fluffy ball of cuteness! Nice detail, great BG with catch light in the eye as bonus! I would have dropped some space on the left had it been mine.

    Very nice John. I love the 'softness' of the feathers. The thin perch is nice and a lovely BG sets it all off. Nice work.

    Simple frame but very well executed. Only thing I would say is that if you are going to be choosing the perch, then maybe spend some more time to choose one with more character, like what Alex recently posted. Perch really adds a great deal to the shot.
