Very nicely done Joe, you're gettin as good with the lens, as you are with the guitar....Sharpness, head and body position, background all bang on IMO....might be just a tad tight in the frame but thats just me...
I like the high key look of this image. I like the raise head feathers of the bird and the look back pose. I do wish there was not so much glare on the birds eye.
IQ looks great and I love the raised crest. Neat angled pose. I agree with the image being tight, and the excessive glare on the eye...but overall looks very nice.
