    As you say lovely light and colours - I would be tempted to sharpen the bird a little bit more.

    Light and eye contact look very good. Sharpening more would be an option, maybe also toning down the whites a bit and I wish the far wing were higher up.

    Very nice, Morkel. I too like the light and especially the red eye.

    Yes, nice pose and sweet expression in the face :)
    Great EXP, and clean BG, eye contact and catch light.
    I can see why you like it so much :)
