A simply sweet portrait of this handsome bird Vanessa. Excellent detail and comp. The only slight nit I have is the noise that is visible in the dark patches of the background. NIce Work :cool:

The almost always angry bird with an attitude.. Nice capture. The larger version shows the noise that needs some work...

Nice pose and bright eye, good detail and colours, and a complimentary BG.
A round of NR on the BG would sweeten this further, and maybe a little more light on the bird - all easily done in post-processing.
Very nice image!

Sweet image, Vanessa. Excellent job with that enormous amount of glass. I do see a noisy bluish blob in the lower left and maybe a slight loss of detail in the crest-but the latter might just have been the light on the iridescent feathers.

Gorgeous capture Vanessa. Background, pose and feather detail are all excellent.
