Great pose and eye contact. Will run a noise filter on the bg. Like the colours. The white's on top of the eye looks a tad hot on my monitor ? Well done :)
Beautiful little bird. I can't wait to get to Costa Rica. Nice sharp detail. Possible small hot spot over the eye, and it might be worth trying to tone down the bright yellow portion of the bg.
Nice bird and colours. Love the red eye. I find the OOF FG element a bit distracting (and too bad it covers the feet), as well as the OOF bright patch behind the tail. I'd run NR to the BG.
