Amy, Excellent feather detail captured here, and I like the pose with the curved neck. Good choice of aperture, and if this were mine, I would add a little to the top and RHS.

Oh, sheesh... then I should not have cropped any of the full frame. Thanks, guys!

Amy, if it were mine, I would have crop from bottom left corner. It is a tight!

Amy, stunning details and S-shape is great. so sharp.
I think f13 has hurt the BG. You were close(and I guess the BG was close too) and wanted a lot of DOF...but am thinking that you could have got away with a little wider aperture. If me, I'd have traded some DOF for more smooth bokeh.

Amy, I think this is gorgeous. The detail, the colors, the intimacy of the portrait. I like it tight as presented-- though it looks like I may be in the minority on that. But I am fond of intimate portraits like this. Excellent job!

great pose and excellent details, I agree with Kaustubh that the BG came out a bit harsh due to f/13. I would have gone wider on the aperture.

Thanks, everyone. Kaustubh, I agree about using a wider aperture. However, the camera was set at f/13 by mistake- I did not even realize it until I posted this image! Normally I would have started off with f/8.

This IMO is just a superb image. Love the detail and sharpness. Great head angle and lighting, and the background does not bother me one bit. Very well done.

Great detal and exposure with good colours and bg.

Probably my favorite tri colored portrait thus far. Great detail ,red eye and gotta love those crown feathers!
