I like the composition on this one.....nice pose and great head turn. You also have a rather complimentary BG. However, it is over exposed and I think it may have a blue color cast looking at the post. I'll let others weigh in as I'm on a computer at school......and I never trust what I see with the monitor.

Agree with Lana and would add backing down the saturation (red channel ) Without any help most Canon Cameras will give reds a big punch

Will color balance and reduce the red channel

Pat, Alfred's repost does a greta job of bringing the bird back to a more realistic saturation and exposure. Your background is nice and the head turn makes the image more personal.

Thanks for your feedback... Alfred...Lana and Jeff.. I am through this forum learning to see things differently and hopefully will improve from reading all the comments.
