    Love the perch, pose, light, details and colors. The eye stands out well from the black mask. Maybe wish dark corner wasn't there, but love it as is. TFS

    ps
    Love the web....

    Dan:

    Agree with David. This is really nice, displaying the amazing softness of their feathers while being sharp, well exposed, soft light and background, spider web a fun extra.

    Well done.

    A sleek pose. Background is quite nice. The spider web on the tail is nice as well.

    Hi Dan, beautiful bird, interesting perch and spider web. Background, exposure and colors look good. On my display the black appears a tad heavy, maybe try reducing that and see how the changes look. Thank you for sharing.

    Very nice picture of a beautiful bird. So hard for me to get fine feather detail on these birds like you have done here. Nice that the eye stands out from black mask. I am envious.

    Great light on this beauty, Dan. Like the perch and excellent background.
