Nice raised wing pose with the bird angling towards you. The underwing coverts look a bit muddy ... You might wish to lighten the iris. All in all, well done.
with love, artie

A really striking image with the cracking pink! Fully raised wings are great, and the head angle is perfect. The muted light absolved you of all shadows, so that's great too. Only issue I see is the overall image quality; the details are decent but not great. I really like to see the scales on the feet, and we don't have them here.
Artie and Dorian, thank you for viewing and commenting. I worked on improving the under wing colors and used Topaz Sharpen AI to sharpen the image. What do you think?
