    What a lovely portrait, Jim. I really like that one toe extended downward. Might try a slight Levels adjustment to darken it just a tad. Fantastic BG, IQ and colors!

    I agree, it looks a tad bright on my monitor, but a very nice BG, perch and angle.
    Sharp as can be.

    Excellent in every way, Jim. Image design, pose, eye contact, perch and bg - nailed it all.

    Jim:
    Lots of nice colors and textures here. Agree about toning it down a sliver. It looks a bit over flashed, esp. the foliage.

    I would try a version without the tiny flash catch light. The natural catchlight is nice.

    Cheers

    Hi Jim, this pose shows off the detail and all the colours on him nicely. Nice and sharp for 1/250, and I think that perch has character.

    Wow Jim. This is probably my favorite one you have posted from this trip. The color, detail, and texture are just awesome. Such vibrant looking colors. Gotta love that perch too.

    Very nice image and pose. The perch is also interesting. But to me, it is a little too bright, especially on the head, I've seen this species many times before and the hood is darker.
