Good detail and color. I might lighten it up a tiny bit and it does feel just a bit tight in the frame.

Very nice capture Ron. If you have the room I might add some more at the top. I agree with Kurt that it seems a bit tight.

Thanks, Kurt and May for your comments. There is no more room at the top unless I put some there. I knew it was a little tight, but I really liked the detail,BG, color and pose of this shot. Looking at it from my monitor at work, I guess it could be lighten up some. Again thanks for your help and comments.

Nice detail and exposure, Ron. If this were mine, I think I'd be tempted to extend the nice even bg from the right side of the image over the dark stuff on the left. Since it doesn't overlap the bird, it should be fairly easy to do.

Beautiful bird with excellent pose and eye contact. I would bring up the whites a bit and I think that will give an overall lightness to the image and bring out it's potential.
