    Nice pose and head angle to match. I'd have pointed the lens a bit to the left after focusing. Looks a bit over-sharpened to me and the YELLOWs could stand to be toned down just a bit by adding some BLUE in Selective COlor.

    Agree yellows in the neck area look too yellow. Second the more room to the left issue.

    Striking looking bird and a new one for me. TFS

    Hey Dan, I'm going in the opposite direction. I think the whole image needs to be warmed up, even the yellows. A bit over sharpened. Love the come and pose.
