I like the look-back pose and head angle. I would increase contrast a few points and put the bird higher in the frame.

This is your definite best to date so far. You are much better. Nice head turn and good color, great exposure Appears sharp..

[Daniel Cadieux]

One of your stronger efforts Arsdel...if not your strongest. Much more natural and "untampered" finish to this one although I still see a couple of PP remnants that can be easily taken care of (softness at base of perch, and far leg's hind toe; and a strong vertical band at right edge of frame). Nice light and perch, the pose looks good. I would only crop a bit at top to rid the excess empty space up there. Overall very well done!!
