    Nice image, nice head turn. Wish a bit more room bellow. Guess you wanted to avoid too dominant oof fg.

    Sometime we have to do what we have to do. I live the cream BG and the placement other than too tight at bottom as mentioned.
    Keep them coming :)

    Mital, I like the repost but I'm still not a fan of the missing foot. Beautiful photo, though...even with the missing foot.

    Love the raised foot. The low angle is a plus, but unfortunately resulted in not being able to see one of the feet. Slightly more head turn would have been nice; better eye contact and better separation between the body and the bill would have resulted. Thanks for posting!

    Lovely low angle, and love the raised foot. Your OP works better as it has less of the distracting FG, but would have liked to have seen the foot. I would take some off the RHS.

    Lots of plusses as above but the o-o-f foreground stuff is too much for me....

    Second post is better I think.
    I like the low angle but wish for more separation of bill and body.
    Great colours though.
    OOF foreground is quite distracting as is loss of foot but that's what "next times" are for : )
