Nice portrait with great light, fierce look, and a clean background, Helena.I only wish the perch was a little lower so you're not looking up on the bird.
Cheers,
Hisham.

I like the look of this bird and the gnarled perch. Background is a touch dark overall

Great position and really nice perch. I would selectively lighten around the eyes to bring them out. Really nice capture.

Excellent, Helena. The detail in the bird is excellent as is the pose with the open beak. My only suggestion is that given the light available, you might have been able to get that really cool perch in crisp focus with a little smaller aperture.
