    Johannes, I think you've got a wonderful image. Excellent Comp, exp, HA, sharp on the eye, great BG. I might want to darken the perch a bit. Lovely Bird in a lovely country!

    Nice bird and perch. Overall a bit too light. I love the distant BKGR. The bird is surely a male with that tiny bill.

    Wonderfull perch, textures, pose, BG and colors, light is a bit harsh IMO, but I like the shot despite that. Congratulations!

    Great angle, perch, BG, sharpness and pose. To make it a bit darker you could adjust the midtones to about 0.9 or so. Keep them coming!

    Thanks guys! :D - Yes, the light was very harsh, and it would probably look better if it was a tad darker... Thanks!
