Gal:

Sharp,nicely exposed, nice catchlight, composition,perch size.

I wish the sun angle had been just a bit more towards the right, but like it as is.

Just a bit of noise in the background.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. Love the composition, the light (despite agree with the angle). Well exposed, nice details and great BG. Congratulations.

Good perch, BG, and bird. Exposure perfect. I wish for less of a head turn as I'd prefer the bill tip to go beyond the edge of the face.

Good details, exposure and transition of colors in the background (glad that the transition didn't occure at the bird's neck). Really like how the bird is at the end of the perch. Agree about some NR on the background.

I like the headon angle here, and you have exposed this very well. Sharp, and just love that BG.

Gal, Beautiful fine feather detail here and a great exposure. I wish the head was turned just a bit more into the frame. Fantastic gradient BG!!

Very nice. Don't mind the light angle as the shadow provided, provides shape and form, but would be nice as mentioned for a little more head turn. TFS
