Wish you'd post this one larger so I could see more detail. From what I do see it looks like a real stunner. Comp is great along with all the colors and a Zebra perch puts it over the top.

Agree with Brian, I would love to see this larger. Superb soft light, perch, pose, colours, BG - maybe a little more room around the bird would be nice - great job, Eric.

Eric:

A fun image, well captured. Nice perch.

Agree about bigger presentation, and perhaps a bit more room.

Thanks

Randy

Lovely soft light, perfect exposure, and great BG. I wish for a bit more room all around.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I'm liking the comp as is. Love the perch, BG, and pose. I'm just finding the image too blue...added yellow in Color Balance (to taste = 36 points in this case), and then desat the blue channel to rid the blue shade on bird.

[Aidan Briggs]

Didn't realize how cool the image was until now, Daniel's repost really makes it look better!

[Eric Landsberg]

Thanks for the assistance Daniel.
