Very appealing image Howard. Nice pose, perch, and complimentary background. I like the light on the front of the bird but wonder if the darks at its back side could be brought up a little?

Hi Howard,

Bring up those darks a little and thought help get the bird to be mor prominent in the composition. The position of the bird in the comp and smooth BG are nice..............................Jim
