    Iso 200, 1/1600, f7.1, -1 (correted to -0.33 in ACR)
    Feel free to comment and thanks for looking

    Colors and exposure look to me to be right on.
    Outstanding image. I would remove some of the negative space on the left to balance your composition a little more.
    Background is killer.

    Stunning picture. Great sharpness, colours and background. I like the comp as is. Perhaps consider to clone out the downward facing leaf.

    I like the angle, perch, BG, sharpness and eye contact. Have you tried lightening the eye a bit? If it were mine I would give it a tad more room at the bottom.

    Colors and exposure look perfect. This is beautiful, Gal. Very close inspection, I see a bit of blurring at the tip of the bill and I agree that the eye could be lighter. Enjoy your new monitor!

    Exposure and colours look great to me Gal, and I like the pose. I would try and lighten the eye too, and can see this as a vertical. What type of KF is this?

    Lovely sharp, well exposed image. Also like the smooth background. Colours look good in my monitor.

    Phenomenal shot Gal!
    BG is great and colours are amazing. They look good on my 2209WA! Interesting that you were able to purchase this monitor, as I understand it's been discontinued (in North America anyway)

    Hi Gal,
    I too love the BG and colors but do agree with the eye lightening a touch. I would go with a bit off the left as my preference but still very nicely done!
