Love the high key treatment for this beauty and all that detail in the blacks. I love the treatment of the epaulettes. Just the right SAT to show detail... TFS

I really like this John what a super pose and the exposure has been very well handled.

Looks good to me. I love the spread feathers and slightly open wings - this blackbird is making itself much larger than it is, and it has quite a good firm grip on the twig too! :-)

I like the the high key post.

The reds appear to be washed out to me, I would eight add more saturation or use selective colors to handle it.

Rest looks nice.
