    Nice comp again - framing ivy leaves and vines good - image looks little flat and I think would benefit from a black point being set in the shadow of the tree trunk below the tail. How does this look?

    Beautiful, Han. Very nicely framed with the leaves and the tree branches. I like the repost, has just a bit more richness and warmth. THere's one bright white spot in the bird's right eye that I'd remove.

    Hey Han, excellent framing in a very pleasing composition, I'd like something in between the original and the repost and agree on removing the white spot from the eye. Great work!

    Thank you these replies.
    Indeed the picture looks something better when it’s a little bit darker.
    I did not see that highlight in his eye. So two points to complete the picture.

    Lovely portrait and setting.Superb sharpness and I really like the decorative Ivyleafs.
    I can spot some minor CA in the eyereflection,but that's a small detail and easy to desaturate.

    Han -

    Lovely image.
    As I was looking at it I was tending to agree with Fabs on the "something in between the original and the repost" but something was catching my eye. I seem to detect a magenta cast in the highlights of the image, or at least I think I do.

    Here it is with some simple correction of megenta cast and the light spot in the eye someone mentioned corrected.
