Don Jorge! I am glad to see you here and welcome to BPN. The red eye of this beautiful "abejaruco" is killer and the pose and BG fantastic. Well done :)
Holy smokes what a great first post. I like the deep colors and the nice look back. Some of the feather details look a bit smooth, but with all the color I don't really notice unless I look really hard.
Welcome to BPN!
Big welcome, Jorge! This is an outstanding image. All the tech stuff looks great, and the background, pose and composition are all excellent. The head turn made the perfect head angle for the angle of your light source.
Spectacular. Needs a bit less SAT and a bit more sharpening. later and love, artie
