Gorgeous bird !! Lovely pose and good colours. Background seems a bit noise and bird overall seems a bit soft for me. Think there is quite a bit of improvements you could make with PP. Thanks for sharing !!
It's a great pose Susan, and the lighting is nice too. It appears a little soft on my monitor (particularly the eye), and the purplish band is a bit distracting. Overall a nice effort though!
Thanks, Maxis, It is cropped to full vertical. I reprocessed with noise ninja, selective sharpening, and a little yellow saturation. Does it look better?
