I really like the colors here, between the bird, background, softness. Raised foot a plus. Because of the soft theme, I would def. reduce the opacity of your watermark, very distracting, esp. with such a small subject.
This image lends itself to a variety of possible crops if you were so inclined. Trimming some off the top for a slightly more pano look is an option.
While I love the raised foot and the pastel tones(and the bird!) this one has several problems for me:
1- the bird is turned away from us.
2- the eye does not look crisp at all.
3-the bird is too centered (and very small iii the frame).
Agree with Randy on the signature and the likelihood of a better crop.
with love, arite

Beautiful pastel scene; it looks like paining! The foot is a nice touch, but I echo Artie's comments, especially with respect to the crop. The bird feels a bit lost as is. I find that processing blacks in super soft light is also a challenge. You have to life them so much to get detail that they often loo washed out.
