Time to give some love to the female of the species!
Canon 1 DX3 600mm 3
ISO 1600 SS 1/1600 F 6.3
Crop to 80% FF
Nothing added and cloned out the blunt end of a cut twig.
Comments and critiques always appreciated and learned from with thanks,

Great head turn, lovely background and perch. Just wish she were a little more parallel to the sensor; the DOF falls off on the wings and tail. (I wonder what Topaz Sharpen AI would do for it?) But it's nice and sharp on her face.
Suerpb. Love the BKGR. A small crop from the left and below might improve it. Was this at a set-up?
with love, artie

Wow, almost missed this one. I know, I'm not an expert pixel peeper, This canvas looks flawless to me (so, what's new). The DOF, the perch, the killer BG and the EXP. All spot on for me. TFS
Lovely back view of this gal. Perch is cool and doesn't look too set up. Woulda been nice to get a bit more DOF across the tail, but you didn't have a lotta light to start with. I love the pinkish BG. I;d leave the leaf above the head.
