    Hi Ramon -

    We have large noisy flocks of these in Florida. They sometimes come to my feeders and empty them in no time. Nice light, pose and background. The face detail is great. The feathers on the wing have an unusual pattern on them...are these worn feathers? I am not on a very good monitor just now., You might want to add some canvas left and top and crop a bit more from the bottom to just below the wing as the bird seems a little tight in the frame.

    Great portrait, colors and BG. I agree with Linda regarding the plumage and there are some clone marks (?) next to the bill. Another vote for a bit more room left and maybe top.

    Thanks for your commetns and thoughts.
    Linda the feathers look that way because of the light I think, this was not an old subject, here a sample of the pattern in the feathers. I have added more canvas to the left and on top.
    Axel, I did'n't clone anything near the bill, just a dark area in the BG near the stomach.
    Heres a repost, let me hear you opinions! Thanks.
