Very nice composition. The plumage looks a bit light, like lacking density. I would darken his pupil too. Good reds!

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree that the reds in the beak are good - not over saturated and showing nice detail here. The darker plumage looks OK to me. I like the lighter BG as it offsets the bird well from it.

Well exposed and I really like the pose, particularly the slight head turn. Makes it look really cute. :) The eye looks a bit overflashed.

I agree with Fabs....nice..
