    Hi Dumay,

    What a great subject. I think your presentation is engaging and delays the bird very well. The exposure, sharpness and colors all look spot on. I also think the plan background compliments the bier nicely. All in al a lovely image. Well done!!!

    The image is very engaging. You want to keep looking at it. The weathered beak, those lovely eyelashes .......
    Is the the BG original or created?

    This is absolutely fantastic, Dumay.
    It is one of the best portrait shots terms of showing some tremendous details.
    Love the composition too!!!
