I was wondering about the head angle here. I know it is not ideal, but I kind of like it.
comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill
note :changed light grayish BG to white per Mr. Forns suggestion

Hi Bill Would be a keeper in my book, I think the image looks good !!

Head angle wise we say it should be a little our way so the tip of the bill and eyeball are in the same plane so the entire bill would seem to be within the dof, just looks better !! btw for this I would go all white for the bg rather than the slight tint !! I like it a lot !!!

Thanks Al! I changed the BG as you suggested. Good suggestion as always. regards~Bill

i love the high key robin. as you said, not the best head angle, but it would be a keeper in my files. nice job with the bg change out. i didnt see the original, but the repost looks great!!

Hi Bill, love the high key look with nice saturation and fine details and the HA is so close it would be a keeper in my book.

Hi Bill....I like the shot....esp the high key look

Bill - love the high key - HA is a little off as noted - BUT really only thing that matters is if you like it.
I have some myself were the HA is off - but I like them- So I Keep them.
Doesn't bother me that much here.
I Like it.

Like the high-key, seems like more contrast or curves adjustment might make it pop some more - maybe not. Let's see what others say (maybe my monitor). On balance, well done Bill.

Great feel to this image Bill. Just the HA in my opinion.
