Thanks for looking! All comments appreciated.

Gary;

Well exposed, with subtle use of fill flash.
Pretty good depth of field, probably could have pushed the ISO a smidge to get a bit more.

Head is probably turned a bit too much towards use for the ideal look back pose.

Pleasant background. Good job getting perch parallel to sensor plane.

I would consider removing the flash catchlight. There is enough of a natural catchlight for my tastes.

Cheers

I like the soft light, sharpness and BG. The rump is a bit overexposed, it should be easy to fix it and I wish the head were parallel to the sensor. Have you tried a crop with a bit more room at the bottom?
