Killer BG and perch and HA. But what makes this image are the two little out of place feathers on the wing. My only suggestion is that the bird needs a bit more pop and would add some blacks to the neutrals and maybe the blues. You could also do a layer mode with the bird selected and do a multiply blend option (as Stuart Bowie has just taught me!!) A beautiful shot to be proud of,

Well placed in the frame. I like the space you gave him to "look out". Like the lighting on this guy and nice clean BG.

Jim:

Like the comp, exposure, sharpness, HA, errant feathers.

He is a bit lighter than I have seem them particularly the shade of blue, so some minor tweaking as suggested by Gail would be in order.

Sweet picture.

Cheers

Lovely bird and great pose. Agree it needs to be toned down a tad. There is a wonderful feel to this capture.

[RakeshDhareshwar]

delightful capture !! The colours stand out so well , the perch and the BG complement nicely .

[Daniel Cadieux]

Perhaps just a tad large in the frame and I'd tone down the lower part of the perch, but all else looks great to me. I'm with Gail in regards to the displaced feathers, very nice!

So sweet and a geat angled perch. Love it

A Sweet image.....I agree with Daniel, it seems a little large in the frame.....
