Hi Shaoging,

Very nice portrait. Do you have the technical information handy? It will help other members.

Very good head angle and background. The blacks could stand 1/3 more of light in some places, and in my opinion you could go back a bit in the sharpening. Beautiful job!

Spectacular!
Great BG and sharpness .

Wonderful photo He Shaoqing. I love the background and how it compliments the dark color of the bird. The composition of the photo is great. This is a real keeper!
