Hello,

Well composed and executed Gina...I like it...The perch is superb, in combination with the complimenting color hues of the background. I like the placement of the subject in frame...you display a good head angle and sharp eye...my only suggestion is that the little guy is a wee bit over sharpened...aside from this, a definite wall hanger...congrats...looking forward to more...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

Excellent Gina - Love the BG - Sharp details - Good HA and Eye contact.
What more could you ask for??

:)

[Alfred Forns]

Agree its a wall hanger !!! Proud of you Gina !!!

btw for printing you probably want the sharpening to look just like you have it presented, a tad over as Gus mention.

Lovely shot Gina. The colours on the bird look great. The seed is a very nice touch. Maybe a bit oversharpened on the monitor, but not for print.

Love the details and composition. Very well exposed.
