    Stunning shot Kurt...love everything here, the pose, HA, colours, smooth contrasting BG and the amazing feather detail. Minor nit: I'd lower the brights on the perch. TFS

    There's the detail a set-up shot better have! Pose is excellent, and the bird looks great on that smooth BG. Paul's suggestion of toning down the perch is wise.

    Hi Kurt, excellent light and IQ, and you have captured a sweet pose. Love the eye. Killer BG, and another vote to tone down the perch a tad.

    Ditto all the positives above, and yes to Paul's suggestion. I'd love to see the bird a bit more to our right in the frame.

    Wow, this is super nice Kurt!

    The head colors and eye just leap off the canvas. A really cool and unique pose with the great bkg works fantastically.

    Great suggestions above, but just really enjoying it here my friend.
