    The perch has some bright spots that could be toned down. The head angle, although not bad, is not ideal but it does showcase the gorget nicely. I wish it was turned more as profile as the way the far eye is just barely peeking makes it look a bit odd. Beautiful colours, and I love the feather "flaps" on each side of the head :-)

    Very nice Juan! A little more head turn and sharpness would be nice here. Do like the head cocked off to the side! Thanks for posting!

    Juan Carlos I would add to other´s comments that you need to rework the tail and the left wing tip because they looks muddy, most probably due to an intense noise reduction or other kind of partial processing. Love the blue "ears" and the sharp eye.

    Well Juan, you may be right but I will tell you that the Raw file looks more or less like that ( I am talking about the tail feathers!)
    Do they look like that may be because of the f number?
    As I already mentioned, the original file also presents the same problem.

    It's likely a bit of motion blur if the RAW file looks like that. You were only shooting at 1/125.
