    This is not the best image of me as the bg looks busy a bit for my taste. :)
    However I like the details of the feathers especially on the shiny metallic primary covers.
    Do you think it is tight? It is full frame.

    I don't feel this is tight horizontally. Maybe just a few hairs more above the bird might be nice. The background is a bit distracting but its good that the color contrasts so much with the black bird.

    Great exposure control, pose and details. Agree on the busy BG.

    I love this and I think the bird is so dominant that the BG disappears.

    I took the liberty of toning down the BG significantly and adding a little canvas up top. What do you think, Gyorgy? I cloned out your name by accident.
