Glen, what a sweet little dumpling it is! I like that this tells a story and is not just another BOAS. Excellent on the technicals as well.

Fluffy little cutie!
A larger image wouldf allow a better look at the detail, but looks fine so far.
Nice pose and bright eye. I'd suggest lightening the face just a bit.

Nice shot Glenn. I love the drowsy look. I might go a bit brighter overall on this shot.

Sweet, Glenn. I love it when they fluff out like this. Excellent job capturing the subdued mood.

I like the look on this. I do wish for a bit more room overall and the image looks to be a tad under-exposed to me.

Nice pose and excellent feather detail. A little dark on my screen, I'd agree with lightning it up a bit,

I love this. The big overhanging fluffed feathers are a real plus here. You might bring up the exposure 1/3 stop or so in post-processing and really have a great one.

I'm whispering - nice one! I like the dark green BG for the brownish bird.

Glenn, it's a fun pose and you got a nice (sleepy) head turn. For my tastes I'd give the bird a little more room on the right if I had it.
