Nice colours and exposure. Love the colour of the eye too and the way you have it framed.

Hi Denise,
I like the composition. You have sharp details and very good color rendition, with a very sharp eye. The soft diffused pale green background compliments your subject very well. It would have been ideal, if the bird's head angle was about 1 degree CW rotation; because of this , the tip of the bill is out of focus and not in the same focal plane...other than this, you did a fine job at exposure and composition...I like it...congrats...looking forward to seeing more of your creations...:cool:

HI Denise

I like this a lot Sure like the pose with the little twist on the neck, gorgeous bg and all so sharp. If anything would take a little of the top, don't need the dead space and will move the eye up on the frame. Head wise the little turn would be ideal but I do like it as presented don't feel its detracting from the image. A big keeper in my book !!! Big Congrats !!!
