Great details in this image. Do you have any more room in the original image that you can try adding to the bottom of this?

[Alfred Forns]

Neat close up Gina !!!

Agree with Cheryl on more room but its sharp and love the feel, got to love that expression. There is a funky looking light area around the bird particularly around head? Not sure what it is. btw base exp seems to be right one and really like the accurate af point placement !!!

Gina, cute expression and mouth open is great! Love the curious look ,details look fantastic! See some stuff in BG. But this is an adorable image!!

Very nice Gina,
I like the pose and slight head turn...the details and color rendition are very good...The background compliments your bird by bringing him out more, showcasing him...:)my suggestion would be to cut 1/4 from the top of the frame and add more canvas at the bottom for the feet...well done...:cool:

Good looking bird Gina. Excellent pose and details are excellent esp. the eye. Dave

[Harold Davis]

awesome detail and pose...only the slight halo? around the bird detracts. gus' cropping and canvas suggestion seems spot on to me too!

Looks like an oil painting Gina. I would add a bit more on the bottom if you have anything. Might do a NR on the BG.
