    Love it Sid. Tack sharp detail, great background bokeh and excellent composition.

    Couldn't ask for more than that. :D

    Great image, I have taken the liberty of adjusting the highlights using Curves and then a little Selective Colour Adjustment to make it pop a little more - not too sure if you will like it as it creates a different viewing experience?

    Love the background and pose...he looks MEAN!

    Personally, I think the original whites were fine.

    Crop is a bit tight on the right.

    Love the different textures and feathers. Great pose, and BG. The original seems fine to me.

    Well done!!

    Hi Sid,

    You really nailed the "grumpy" attitude of this species. I like the way the head is angled to present the entire beak at an interesting angle that really exemplifies its symmetry. Nice one.
