    KD, You are getting pretty good at these. Love the low angle and the drinking pose. It it were mine, I would lose the specular highlights on the flank.

    The nice light tones of bird match up perfectly with soft pastels of bg.

    Kaustubh:

    Another beauty. +1 on reducing the flank reflection, all else fine!

    Cheers

    Kaustubh like the fine detail in the feather pattern and ditto the comments above. Great BG as allways.
