Beautiful bird, nice eye contact and BG. I would apply some NR on the BG, put him a tad further to the right in the frame and wish for a bit more head turn toward you. Could you have moved to your left? Thanks for sharing!
This is a tough crowd! I like this photo a lot. I might crop a bit off the top and move the bird to the right a little, but it's a beautiful bird, a nice perch, and a clean BG. Thanks for posting!
I really like this image. It pulls me around to see what the front of this bird looks like, a little mystique. Sharp bird, excellent colors and lovely background which doesn't seem noisy on my monitor. The wood perch has lots of character. I agree it would have been nice to have the bird a little to the right, but that wasn't possible, and overall this is excellent.
Wonderful bird, wonderful image. Sharp, with good EXP control. I am fine with the COMP. Only wish for a bit more head turn and that the tail did not overlap the perch. Also EXC use of d-o-f with the over the shoulder pose. Way to go!
