Excellent details in soft light. Very nice..

Nice portrait.
Would decrease the luminance in the sky to get a bit more color.
Good crop. I like the lines created by the neck.

Really digging the shape that the bird makes here. Nice pose and light. Tack sharp.

Joe excellent shot. Love the light on the head. With the pose and curves almost reminds me of a Audubon painting. Nice TFS

[Dorian Anderson]

Beautiful pose and details. Curved neck is really great. Exposure and position in frame are perfect. I agree will Gail's comment about squeezing more blue out of the sky, if possible.
