Varied Thrush

I cropped this image vertically and had to add some canvas to top.
I appreciate any critique or suggestion.

Thanks

Love the tilt of the head Rowdy, profile of the bill, water droplets on the head & back and the nice details & sharpness evident in both the small and larger version. I might work on the eye a bit, it does have a flashed look because of the extra catchlights. Lovely colors & background.

Fabulous portrait, Rowdy! Very colorful subject and excellent detail. I like the way it's tipped its head. The eye.... looks a little sunken- maybe an optical illusion to me because of some lighting effect?

Love the detail on the feathers in the larger view and the drops of water. The BG is a nice compliment to the bird's color.

Beautiful head position for the thrush and great sharpness. I like the water droplets on the head and back. It appears to me to be a touch over saturated on the chest and this has caused some loss of detail there. Also I would run some noise reduction. Even so-an excellent image.
