Crits appreciated

Just enough room all round to create a good comp. I like the slight slant back pose, and the detail and sharpness on the head and beak is simply superb. You are turning out some great work.

[Don Nelson]

Excellent composition, great lighting and exposure. I like what you've done.
On small change I might make -- you have two catchlights in the eye. You can get rid of one of them in my opinion.

Great comp and IQ. Another vote for removing second catchlight,
Gail

Dumay, excellent details, exposure, HA and BG. I'd prefer tad more room at the top because of the upward head turn. IQ is great as always.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks for the comments folks..I like the idea of more space at the top. That was something I thought people might mention when I posted.

[Paul Lagasi]

A really nice portrait...sharp and well composed, nits already mentioned above. Well done

[Bill Dix]

Excellent detail on the head. Great comp, although I suppose a little more on top would make it even better. Ditto the catchlight.

[Ofer Levy]

Sharp with excellent detail.

[Doug Brown]

Love the detail! I agree with the comments regarding the second catchlight and a bit more room top and left.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks for the comments folks!

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Dumay! I like the IQ, HA and BG.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

I like the slant pose as well. Great detail and a nice look at the baby blue eye.
