Nice light, great pose and perch, and excellent bg and composition!

I'm seeing a bit of a halo along the neck on the right.

Beautiful picture of this difficult subject. Expposure is spot on and the soft background helps to complete the scene.

[Mike Lentz]

The BG, comp and open beak make this one a winner!

To me, the mostly yellow color scheme makes this photo stand out from the rest.
