Hi Bill

I know its difficult just getting them this open!! I like the pose, head angle and exposure but having trouble with the bg. Particularly the one stick by the legs.
Did not see the settings used but doesn't seem to be wide open. Would sacrifice dof here !!!

I like the pose, details and light. Too bad about the OOF branch in the foreground crossing the bird's leg.

Cute pose and good head angle. The oof branch in the foreground is a distraction...the rest of the bg works ok since this is their habitat. Colors are very nice in this image.
