Hi Lady Denise,
I like the composition and capture...For your next one, you have to get a lower capture angle...:) I adjusted your base image by cloning out the white specks in the feathers, I opened up the blacks to get more details. On the background I burned in the mid-tone just slightly and blurred it even more. I also sprinkled some selective sharpening on the wing contours and on the eye and surrounding area...boosted contrast and adjusted the saturation just a pinch...see if this presents well with you...:cool:

I like it Denise With these guys you can try all sort of things, they seem to be tolerant of people. After you do the body images close in for tight head shots !!! As presented would like a little more room by the toes !!! Excellent image !!!

Good looking bird Denise. Great eye. The repost brought out some really nice detail.

Fine details and composition D. Do agree with Al regarding more room at the bottom.

Hi Denise, looks like you did well with the exposure, just needed to bring out the details in the feathers a bit more! The sharpening of the eye/head area looks better in Gus's repost but maybe just a little too much:)
