    John - A beautiful portrait of a lovely bird. I love the head turn, the feet, the detail and the complimentary soft background. Nicely done.

    John what a lovely bird and spot on the exposure, sharpness and perch. I would give it more room on all sides. It feels a bit cramped. I am still trying to get one of these. Big congrats!!

    Lovely soft light, HA, and BG. I agree with Nancy on more room, and I might boost the contrast a tad.
