Hi Edward: I find this to be a very appealing image. I like the pose with the back facing us, and the very nice head turn. Lovely soft background. The only thing I might change is toning down the leaves on the left side of the frame just a bit. Very nice.

Nice pose and composition, Edward. The high iso seems to be showing a bit in the bird-it looks a bit noisy. You really brought out the beauty in this lady.

She is lovely. Your camera handles the high ISO well.

Really pretty Edward, with a terrific composition. I think the ratio of male-to-female photos of Painted Buntings I've seen is, oh, 100-to-1, so it's nice to see such a beautiful portrait of this lady.
