Thank you for looking

I would love to see a little tighter crop and a better HA, but it's almost there! :) Exp is fine and colors look great!

The bird looks to be on a mission! Nice sharp contrast on the bird, I agree, a slightly more angle toward you would have been sweet.

Beautiful sharpness and colors, it's a pity the bird is walking away from you

[Arthur Morris]

Nice bird, nice salad, but with the bird walking away from you, the head angled even more away from you, and the bird's eye close to being closed, this one has many serious problems. EXP and SH good.

I like the raised foot showing that he is on a mission. Good sharp detail, and angle covered.
