I like the over the shoulder pose. Good details in the feathers and nice sharpness. I am partial to portraits of birds. These seem to like to pose for us here in FL. Keep them coming.

Beautiful portrait with a lovely background. If this were mine, I might add a little to the left to take the bird's eye away from the center of the frame.

Maureen,

here is a sample crop I put as you suggested.

I am inclined towards Milts original crop. In his original crop, beak kind of leads viewer into the subject and eye locks the attention. With more space on the left I am getting that feeling. What do you think?

I think I agree. The OP is a nicer crop! Good to see them side by side. Thanks, Sid.
