    Joe details on the bird are spot on especially the blacks. If you have more room I would add to the bottom. TFS

    Very colourful and good details, I would suggest tame the light on the legs, I think there is some detail to be had.

    Hi Kevin, thank you for viewing and commenting. I have room at the bottom of the image but it was not pretty so I cropped it out. I tried fixing it in Photoshop but did not like the results. Maybe I'll try to add some canvas there and see how it looks.

    Hi Jon, thank you for viewing and commenting. Looking at the legs again they are quite bright. I worked on toning them down and getting more detail. Here's a repost.

    Commenting on the re-post, a good well lit pose with nice detail and turn of the head. For mine, I would have removed the poking up bit of seaweed.
