Nice image Desmond - I like the catch light in the eye and the colors are nice. I wonder if you considered blurring the bkgr??
Cheers,

I really like this one -- nice capture. I actually like the BG as it is. Very nice. The only thing I might nit is the white area on the neck -- you may be able to tone it down a bit (although my monitor tends to run a bit bright).
Nice pose with extended wings, iridescence and eye highlight. Looks like a significant crop. BG is nice but I would try and smooth out some of the sharper pale lines running through it (clone stamp in darken mode with a big, low opacity soft brush may be a good starting point)

Wonderful COMP and a great job by everyone above. The group is getting so good that I am often left speechless--and that is not a common occurrence.... Good catch on the blown whites on the neck by Mike. Does your master file show the clipping? (I am betting that the JPEG does...)
