Bye,
Nice and sharp and a very good pose.
A more natural perch would have been really nice for this one.

I like the feather detail and the slightly open mouth, the exposure is very nicely handled. As stated a more natural pose would be nice but there is nothing you can do about that. I do think a bit more DOF would have rendered the feet sharp, which would have been nice.
Hi Diego, I like the sharpness and pose and that background is very nice. Really good eye contact, I wish that the membrane wasn't partly closed. Love the corvids, thanks for sharing!

Hi Diego - nice details in the blacks - exposure looks good - like the BG and also wish for a more natural perch.
Feels a little lopsided to me - some more LHS and top maybe.
Little bit of white showing ULHC.
Good show :)
Diego, good comments above. I also agree for a more natural perch and DOF. The pose is good along with soft lighting...
Hi Diego Like this bird very much, high up on my list !!! ... did you say its a captive?
Agree with comments ... can add I like the feather detail and texture, would try adding some neutral/black in selective color, will help the black tones !! Excellent Vale !!!
Thank you all of you for your gentle and constructive critiques as usual Its help me a lot for improve my shots. Alfred, this bird was found by my sister's neighbor 2 months ago. He built a big jail for it and feed everyday like he was its mother. The bird have bath every afternoon with he in the pool and after that perch on the fence to dry its feathers. He like to perch on the shoulder of everybody near him.
Amazing .... would love seeing that bird !!
