    Hi Sasan, I really like this portrait. The soft filtered light, sharpness, the perfect head turn, ultra smooth background and gradual grading from yellow to blue in the background really works for me. Nothing to fault here in my humble opinion.

    I'm absolutely with Chris, this is a super image, my only suggestion would be to brighten the lore a little.

    Sasan, I concur with some great feedback. A real peach of an image to view.

    Sweet frontal view with great eye contact. Love seeing him perched atop the stalk and I echo the very nice background.

    Good choice of crop at bottom as well. The whole composition is strong.

    Jon has a good point IMO, and I would use some selective lightening around the face a bit as well.

    Well captured and nicely presented sir!

    nice frame Sassan I like the two tone soft BG and the perch. agree the face could be brightened a bit but that's minor
