    Very good sharpnes and details, I like the perch and perfect head angle. I might try to crop a bit of top. Very nice image.

    Hi Carel. Beautiful soft light and excellent overall sharpness. The comp, pose, and background are also first rate. Very well done.

    Hey Carel,
    I too like this very much although Like Ovidiu, I would be tempted to either crop out the bluish band at the top or blend it in with the green color (if you are OK with such things). An excellent job overall!

    It always amazes me how well the colours seem to work out. Very nicely done with a nice and simple composition.

    Hey Carel,
    Nice job with the suggestions. In the repost though....you have a halo around the stem.....easy fix and I like that you kept the room up top!
