it's a nice pose and BG but processing is poor. it looks like a water color painting as opposed to a photograph. need to revisit post processing.

[dankearl]

It is a nice watercolor, maybe OOTB?

[Ofer Levy]

I agree that it looks like something went wrong during processing as there are no details on the bird and perc.

Yikes. There was definitely something that went wrong in the processing of this image,
and it's all the more glaring due to the size of the subject in the frame. One idea for this
approach would be to lower the set up so that it's more eye level. Then back up a bit to
achieve a smaller size subject in the frame. Looks like the background is far enough away
that you will still have good background control....

Thank you for taking the time to critique the above image. It made me aware of my mistakes in workflow. Hopefully, the same mistakes will not raise their ugly heads again.

Much better but still doesn't look natural I'm afraid.
