    Interesting crop idea, good sharpness and eye contact. I would lighten the eye more and maybe remove the catchlight then. I might give it a tad more room at the left.

    Lots of detail and provocative crop. Love the lively colors.

    Hi, Juan Carlos. Really nice job balancing the fill-flash with the ambient light background. It wouldn't be my first choice for a crop for a stright picture but thinking about the inclusion of text makes sense.

    Was this from your last trip?

    Cheers,
    Greg

    A riot of colors. And thx to the tight crop, nice feather details being seen at this size. Excellent stuff all around.

    The bird is fantastic of course.
    I like the crop and eye detail,
    I would only leave just a bit more space
    on the left and let the black run near the edge
    all the way down.
