Hey Bill, Another image using the technique that I'm fond of. This time a pleasing backround is present and generally more color within the image. If this were my image I would allow more room on the left and a bit more on the right. Rather than looking away I would prefer the head turned more to the viewer and I would eliminate the lines on the right.
I'm enjoying these and look forward to your next image...

Thanks Dave. Normally I would'nt post a revised version, but those lines you mentioned really bugged me (funny how I missed them in the first place). Also added to the left. Nothing can be done with the head angle. When photographing the bird I suggested as much, but she wouldn't have anything to do with it. Spite. regards~Bill

Bill, I love the treatment of this image and the bg is beautiful. The feather detail is really nice and the treatment
makes it even nicer IMHO:D
