    Loverly bird, BKGR, and SH. I like that you have separation between the bird's bill and its breast. You might try a bit darker with the blacks and the mid-tones.

    Great looking bird. The BG is simply stunning.
    I visioned this one with more room on left and gave it a try on PS, I hope you don't mind.

    Very nicely done and thanks, JC. Your repost gives the bird more room to see into its world....

    The repost looks much better, particularly adjusted midtones and more room. I would only desaturate the reds a few points.

    JC,
    Your re-do improved the image significantly. Far from minding, I appreciate the lesson. Will re-work with other pointers; darkening blacks and mid-tones/desat reds, etc. Thanks all
