Hi Rene - IMHO - HA is letting this one down - the head angled away is not giving a clear view of the eye and the viewer no connection with the bird.
Techs look solid and exposure looks good - also like the blue/green BG.
everything looks perfect on my screen but the head angle. not seeing the eye is a let down here. i do like the sharpness and the bg is fairly complimentary.
Agree with comments JB !! I know it sounds silly but on some of the images when the bird is not looking at something in particular the slight head turn toward the camera makes a difference. Besides the obvious it makes more of connection with the viewer !!! .. other than that one sweet image, hope you can work this bird some more !!!
