Very nice job on the bird but I am not real sure of the crop....maybe go with a little off the bottom and much more off the top. Make it more of a square crop.

Great capture Ken,
Great colors and details, eye contact and head angles are superb...congrats...:cool: My personal taste, I would take off just a tad from the top, and add just a hint of tail space...good show...looking forward to your next creation...:cool:

Hi Ken, Great shot! I agree w/ Gus about the crop. I love the colors and detail. Once again GREAT SHOT!

Hi - Beuatiful Bird - nice action you have captured. Love the BG - Good Work.

Feels like it needs a bit of CW rotation to me, crop doesnt quite work for me, would take some more from the top.

Gorgeous bird. Colors are great and very detailed. Do agree with previous comments regarding the crop, specially the bottom I think is a little tight.
Congrats and welcome.

I thought a square crop would look good. Love the colours in this bird.

I like the square crop and sure wish the bait was facing the other way !! Like the re post Original is flat as presented but an excellent base image !!!
