Thanks for looking, Giulio

Hi Giulio, I like this shot, and think it i more suitable for avian as there does not appear to be any filters or different PP applied. Just would have added more room at the bottom for the "virtual" feet. The framing and head angle are beautiful. I think this post may get moved. Keep posting!

Hello Giulio, I also like this image a lot. I think I'm ok with high-key being an in-camera effect. :) Very nice job on the exposure at the top end. I think the blacks may have suffered a bit in the process of protecting the whites, but I like the look. Agree about more room for the virtual feet, and I might lighten the eye a bit. Very nice!

Thanks Jackie, I did apply some glow effect from Nick software

You should just include it in your post Giulio.

Nice image, Giulio. I like the subtle colors and the high-key look. Great pose and details too. Agree on more room for the virtual feet.

Giulio, I like the hint of pink in the bill and feathers (and on my screen in the bg). Beautiful pose and high key treatment.
