Great pose, composition, and BG!

Seems a bit bright overall to me. Might tone down a bit for richer colors.

[Randy Stout]

Troy:

I had exactly the same impression as Mike. A bit bright, but otherwise really nice.
Might be interesting to run a light multiply layer on the entire image and see what it gives you. Perhaps 25%, and season to taste.

Cheers

Agree with Mike and Randy on this being a tad bright. Love the calling pose and the comp here. The colors are also gorgeous but think they would pop even more if toned down a bit.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

All said i haveto agree . Great image just needs more depth .Nice neck feather detail.

[Troy Lim]

Thank you all for your input...will play around with it a bit more.....

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Troy, open bill, tightness, BG, bird angle, DOF....all very good. Well done.

[Luis Villablanca]

Excellent portrait, Troy. Love that open bill, detail, colors and BG.

[Troy Lim]

Here is another version, applied 25% of a darken layer.

Very nice as always Troy. Repost vast improvement. Lovely light, and bird is in great condition. TFS.
