Mital, Great picture. Exposer looks great and nice HA. He really "pops" out of the BG which is also great. Maybe crop out a little from the left?(a lot of empty space) Very nice!

Super image Mital! Love the look-back pose and the nice low angle. DOF is perfect. I kind of like the 'extra' canvas on the left.

Good DOF Mital, and this is nice and sharp. I like the turned back head, but would maybe bring in the LHS just a little.

[Danny Laredo]

I like the over the shoulder look. cool image.

Simply gorgeous, very nice pose and sharp. I too like the extra canvas as its giving a smooth feel. Congratulations!!

Angle, details and BG look very good. I wish the head were parallel to the camera sensor. I don't remember seeing this species before, thanks for sharing!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Great new species for me. Thanks for sharing it.
Love the bird and his details. The BG is killer also.

Great eye contact, it does appear just a little oversharpened. Love the space all around. Congrats on this fine result! :)

Mital...beautiful picture. I like everything as-is. The feather details on the back have come out very well.
