Almost a model's pose, Tjie. Excellent capture. A minor nit: there's a kind of "slickness" on the chest that doesn't look right. Post-processing artifact?

Lovely pose perch and background. I noticed the area across the chest as well, which mars an otherwise lovely image.

Excellent calling pose, Tjie, and nice detail in the plumage.
