    Joe:

    Excellent shooting angle, very fun pose, esp. like the splayed foot. The tiny flowers add a nice soft pop of color. I might consider sharpening the face a tiny bit more. Nicely exposed.

    Well done

    Cheers

    Hi Joe .. love the image .
    Subject super cute and the expression in combo with the stretched wing is priceless !!!
    Subject nicely separated from the BG .
    Personal taste ... I would go cooler in the WB , as everything seems to have a yellowish tint . And it does not appear as sunlit scene ... but I might be well wrong

    Nice work and TFS Andreas

    Super shot, my initial reaction was that it looked a little too yellow overall.
