I like this one very much, JC, the colors and light are great. BG is good too. I'd keep the sharpening out of the perch if you know how to mask. Thanks for sharing!
Good details, colors, perch and BG. I wish for a lower angle, removing the sheen from the bill would be good but might be quite a bit of work. You could just try to select the area and tone it down, maybe that would do the trick already.
I like this image! Love the colours and the BG and perch. It is very close to being pin-sharp and a small amount of USM or Smart sharpen, particularly on the eye would work well I think.
