Hi Arash, wonderful image. You have captured wonderful details on this bird and I like the water drop on the beak. Techs seem spot on. Congrats.

Thank you for the good wishes, Happy Holidays to you, too.

I like the eye contact, sharpness and light in this one. Maybe a slight crop off the bottom?

Arash, Merry Christmas to you as well.
I like the pose, details and the lighting. The water color makes this nice.Agree w/ Axel about a bit off the bottom.

Arash - a lovely shot. Color, pose, HA, detail and exposure all look great, and the water drop tops it off. In this case I don't mind at all the reddish BG in the upper left, since it is clear of the bird and compliments his color. Agree about just a tad off the bottom, and some might prefer it without the double catchlight (a minor nit). Nicely done. And I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Simply a pretty image....I like the bg, the nice light, and the droplet about the fall from his bill. Very pleasing to my eye.

[LouBuonomo]

Same to you.. a real nice capture. Nice details.. I like the forming drop too.

Great light and a nice pose. The legs have a somewhat hazy look on my monitor, like a BG blur got some of the legs. Also, if you ran NR on the BG, I might mask off the reflection of the bird. Another vote for cropping a bit off the bottom.
