HI Alberto - Nice Bird, love the BG, looks sharp, exposure looks good. Love the hair do :)

Well done.

[Katie Rupp]

Alberto, I also think it's a tri-color but I am no expert, for sure! I think it needs a bit more "pop" and if I were good at photoshop I might try. It makes me smile.

Hi Alberto,
No trouble from the HAP here!! I like this a lot - it is a sweet portrait (it is a juvi tri colour) and the eye looks really good. The image could possibly be a tad lighter?
Regards,
Nicki

Hi Nicki,:)
What part of the image were you referring to? :confused:Do you think the bird is too dark, the bg, or the overall image?

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

Hi Alberto :)
I just feel that the whole image could be a little lighter - looks a little underexposed, but it could just be me - others may disagree. Hope this helps!! ;)
Regards,
Nicki

Would brighten the bird itself a little then decide about the bg With the lighter bird it could be just fine? Nice one Alberto It is a tri color and probably a terror !!!! :)

[Julie Kenward]

I lightened and brightened...and did a square crop just for fun. I also added a tiny bit more sharpening.

[Nonda Surratt]

Love the HA and nice and sharp, agree on the need to brighten just a bit

I like the background and the head angle. The repost is a lot sharper by the adjustments that Julie made. Overall a great capture in my opinion.
