Pretty cool, I like the composition and details. Is this a captive bird? I've never seen this bird and am wondering if the color temperature is a bit high. I might clone out the whitish OOF spot above the head.

A great head study Alex showing excellent feather detail. It certainly grabs your attention..!!

Hai Axel,

This is indeed a captive bud verry common bird in shoutern Europe. De intense collors has partly to do with the reflection of the snow and the cameraposition on claudy.

I like the placement of the bird in the frame and the great eye contact. I might selectively sharpen the eyes.

Yes to a wonderfully endearing look and an interestingly designed image. What is the white o-o-f element above the bird's right eye?

Please note captive subjects witht the original post; thanks.
