I like the soft light, eye contact and sharpness, good-looking specimen, too. I might crop a tad off the left so that the perch does not end in the corner.

[Stu Bowie]

Lovely natural colours Marc, and I like the pose. Overall, nice and sharp too.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice profile picture. I personally don't mind the perch coming out of the corner, but I'm wondering what that is on it (just above the feet)? Maybe a bit of NR to the top half of the BG.

[Fabs Forns]

Sweet profile with a nice catchlight, soft light and neat BG colors. Agree on noise reduction in the BG.

[Nicki Gwynn Jones]

I echo the compliments given above, but am particularly enjoying the soft light :)

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Truly a stunning capture Marc. Love the pose and the killer Bg. Excellent, sharp detail too. Beautiful !!

Appreciate the comments guys.

, but I'm wondering what that is on it (just above the feet)?

They do look a little odd but are actually just leaves.
