Thats one sweet image Jan...Not sure if a slightly different background colour might present the bird a little better but I would love it as is anyway..

jan:

Striking bird, sharp, well exposed, I like the lines of the body and perch.

To reduce the dominance of the BG color, you could certainly crop tighter here if desired.

Cheers

Exellent image quality, great details and sharpness.

excellent pose light details and BG

Hi Jan, I cant understand why you dont like this pose, I feel its works well. This guy certainly has a variety of colours, sharp, and I dont mind the colour of the BG, but would maybe tone it down a touch.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Beautiful background, colours, techs. This image would have presented itself well as a vertical IMO, with a bit more room top and bottom too.

I really like the colors and personally love the BG color. I like the curve of the body line as well. I would crop a bit tighter from the left,

What a amazing bird. Lovely BG and the light looks good..>Very nice image

[Colin Knight]

Beautiful bird, perch and BG! I would darken the entire image though. It's a bit bright to me.

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful bird and nicely captured. I like the pose, and the colors are gorgeous. I, too, thought the brightness on the bird could be knocked down just a tad.

[Rod Warnock]

Well captured, Jan !! Like the pose a lot. Agree on BG needs toning down a little.
Best regards

Excellent image, love the light, pose and perch.

I like Daniel's suggestion of a vertical presentation but I'm guessing this is close to full frame.

[Jan Wegener]

yes, besically FF. I made some verticals, but like this pose better in horizontal :)

[Chris Martinez]

Might add I really like the slow transition of focus to slightly OOF from the tip of the perch to the base.
