    Soft light is excellent.. I don't see them so maybe not sure but a bit more black might give it more punch?

    The diffused light brang out the detail nicely. Overall detail on the bird looks great.

    Fantastic pic, love the long locks of "hair", the copper on steel grey colors, sharp beak and eye make for a really pleasing on the eye pic
